Robert Saleh, Mike LaFleur see importance in Jets’ underrated RB group

This isn’t the Curtis Martin era.

Nor Freeman McNeil’s prime.

The Jets don’t possess a clearcut No. 1 running back on the roster, and instead, employ a number of individuals with differing on-field strengths.

There’s no bell cow back who’s going to notch 20-plus carries per game; no workhorse who will constantly reach the century mark week after week.

It’s not a flashy group, simply speaking.

But flashiness isn’t a prerequisite of production — the team can still succeed on the ground with the numerous options it possesses and the various qualities those individuals can put on display.
