Jets 2019 NFL draft preview: Running Back

The Jets landed one of the biggest tickets in NFL Free Agency this offseason, inking Le’Veon Bell to a long-term deal and giving Sam Darnold one of the league’s most dynamic and versatile weapons to help balance the offense.

Bell’s presence will obviously be a focal point of New York’s offensive attack moving forward, but the Jets would be wise not to burden him with the kind of work load that would break him down and make him less effective over a long season. That means having a deep stable of runners behind him to shoulder some of the touches throughout the year.
