New York Jets running backs coach Stump Mitchell has lofty expectations for one of his players of the positional group and it’s not who you would first suspect. No, it’s not Isaiah Crowell or Bilal Powell, but rather, second-year pro Elijah McGuire. Mitchell believes McGuire has the tools and skill set to have a similar career to that of Pro Football Hall of Famer, running back LaDainian Tomlinson.
The 24-year-old reminds him a lot of the former Jet and legendary player. Tomlinson, who ranks sixth all-time in total yards, had the honor of being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last August.
