It felt as if someone had kicked the back of his leg during the first drill of a rare Wednesday training session following a free-agent visit with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The former New York Giants running back looked down as if there was a problem with his cleats. These were his go-to pair. Perhaps they had reached an expiration date.
