Toby Gerhart was a huge disappointment in free agency last year. After signing a three-year, $10.5 million contract with the Jaguars, Gerhart averaged just 3.2 yards a carry and lost his spot in the starting lineup.
This year, Gerhart says, it’s time to move on.
“Last year is in the past,’’ Gerhart said. “All that matters is what you do recently. That’s what I am looking forward to.’’
In last night’s preseason debut, Gerhart managed 13 yards on four carries, plus 30 yards on two catches. That’s not bad, and showing that he can make plays in the passing game may be enough for Gerhart to earn a roster spot.
