A plethora of injuries at the Jets’ running back position have given fullback Tommy Bohanon a rare opportunity to carry the football. It’s a change of pace for the 6’1’’, 247-pounder, who is used to clearing pathways as opposed to running through them.
“I pride myself on being very versatile. If I’m asked to handle the ball, I’m happy to do that,” he said. “There are a lot of injuries, so I’ll help out in any way I can.”
The Jets currently have multiple running backs sidelined with veteran Matt Forté still nursing a hamstring injury, Khiry Robinson fresh off the PUP List and Bernard Pierce (hamstring), Dominique Williams (concussion) and Romar Morris (shoulder) also out.
