FLORHAM PARK -- Matt Forte will be the Jets' offensive workhorse this season. Bilal Powell figures to be his regularly-used complement. That's not a bad 1-2 punch, considering they combined for 2,186 total yards a year ago.
But could rookie Elijah McGuire work himself into the running back rotation?
"He will contribute," running backs coach Stump Mitchell said during minicamp. "He has no choice."
The Jets selected McGuire, 23, in the sixth round of this year's draft. He's the first running back taken by Mike Maccagnan since he took over as general manager in 2015.
