Jay Ajayi: I know I can be a great back in this league

Coach Adam Gase says he likes how shifty Jay Ajayi can be.

Left tackle Branden Albert says linemen like the idea that Ajayi doesn’t tiptoe through holes, but rather hits them with authority.

Regardless of which method works, Ajayi has one thing in mind: “Produce the way I know that I can and be the great back that I know I can be.”

Ajayi spoke of greatness with the media at training camp Tuesday. He mentioned how much he appreciates the styles of Marshawn Lynch and Adrian Peterson. In Ajayi’s eyes, they’re backs who run hard every time they get the ball.
