The Jaguars have raised some eyebrows when they made Travis Etienne the 25th overall pick of 2022's draft. James Robinson had just finished the season in a positive way and it didn't seem appropriate to
Mut 22 coins put a first-rounder on a running defender. If you look back, it wasn't an ideal choice.
It's true that you can always find a running back during the final rounds of the draft. The Jags think they discovered a unique running back in Etienne. In May the head coach Urban Meyer said the former Tiger had the potential to be a "legitimate dual-threat". In addition, he played at wide receiver in the rookie minicamp.
While Robinson may remain the Jaguars lead back in 2022, Etienne should also have significant roles on offense. Jacksonville doesn't have likely two 1,000-yard running backs this upcoming season but the duo could form a very productive pair. The Jags' standing on the field should be higher than what it was in the past, when they were 31st in rush touchdowns.
Robinson accounted for a league-high 86% of the team's carries in 2020. The percentage is likely to fall in the coming year, but not necessarily a bad thing. In his last season, he had been the only dependable running back the Jags had available on their roster. It's possible that they have over-worked him, since he was out for the final two games of the year due to
cheap Madden 22 coins an injury to his ankle.
