Running back James Robinson (30) of the Jacksonville Jaguars (Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports)
After amassing over 1,000 rushing yards last year, you would think that Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson would be a household name ahead of the 2021 NFL season. However, a recent social media post shows that’s not the case. Pro Football Focus recently asked on social media which second-year running back would have the best season in 2021, Jonathan Taylor (Indianapolis Colts), Claire Edwards-Helaire (Kansas City Chiefs), or Antonio Gibson (Washington Football Team). Conspicuously absent from the post is Robinson.
There’s no doubt Taylor and Gibson showed out in their respective rookie campaigns and the case could be made both were more productive in 2020 than Robinson even though he finished with the most yards from scrimmage of the three.
