Acquired in 2013 from New Orleans where the Saints’ depth at running back prevented Ivory from getting regular touches and made him expendable, the hard-nosed running back has topped 800 yards on the ground in each of his first two seasons with the Jets.

Even while facing multiple 8-man fronts and splitting carries with Bilal Powell (2013) and Chris Johnson (2014), Ivory has been a productive back whose physical running style has drawn comparisons to Seattle’s Marshawn Lynch.
