This is the third in a series of features on the 2017 NFL Draft, position by position. Today's position: Running Backs. The Jets' RB roster synopsis is followed by five players considered top candidates at RB.
The Jets have two talented running backs in Matt Forté and Bilal Powell.
Forté carried the bulk of the load early in 2016, but was slowed down by knee and shoulder injuries, eventually landing on injured reserve. The 10-year vet finished with 813 rushing yards and seven touchdowns in his first year with the Green & White.
