The story of J.K. Dobbins’ tenure in Baltimore is complicated.
Arriving with a bucket full of expectations after an exceptional career at Ohio State, and carrying that much-desired chip on his shoulder from day one, Dobbins was a player that the fanbase embraced, and the coaches seemed to love. He steadily earned carries in a crowded backfield that included Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards, but shined that first year, averaging 6 yards a carry and producing nine touchdowns.
Year Two was to be his coming-out party, but he suffered a knee injury in a preseason game and never got on the field in the regular season.
