T.J. Yeldon is coming to play for the Jacksonville Jaguars and instantly make the running back position better. He’s going to be an immediate part of the rotation, competing against Denard Robinson, Toby Gerhart, and Bernard Pierce for touches at the running back positions.
To me, this looks like the type of pick where the Jaguars want to emphasize utilizing multiple running backs. Robinson was showing promise in 2014 and should continue to improve in 2015 as he completes his transition to running back. Yeldon will be able to come in and immediately provide a steady presence at the position.
