In June, Jaguars rookie running back T.J. Yeldon was asked about buzz that he’d be the team’s starting running back in 2015 and said that he put himself at the bottom rung of the depth chart.
Yeldon’s June perception doesn’t meet the reality of the depth chart that the Jaguars released for this week’s game against the Steelers. Jacksonville lists Yeldon alongside Denard Robinson as the team’s starter.
These charts are unofficial, of course, but there’s not much surprise that a player offensive coordinator Greg Olson has referred to as a three-down back has climbed over the likes of Bernard Pierce and Toby Gerhart since being selected in the second round this year.
