The biggest thing I took away from the teleconference with Temple running back Ryquell Armstead immediately following the NFL Draft was his demeanor and the fact he already took about himself as a part of the Jacksonville Jaguars running game. He told those of us on the conference call he wanted to help his new team become a stronger running team.
I know Tom Coughlin, with his “run-first” mentality for this organization, must have fallen in love with him when he heard those words. Armstead knows he comes to a situation where Leonard Fournette is the established starter on offense, but that does not mean the rookie cannot take carries away from the other backs in the running back room.
