If you were to poll the casual football fan, and ask them who was the first running back taken in last year’s draft, few outside of Nashville could tell you Bishop Sankey.
Sankey, Tennessee’s second round pick out of Washington, underwhelmed in his 2014 rookie campaign….averaging 3.7 yards per carry…for a pedestrian 569 yards. He had just as many lost fumbles (2) as he had touchdowns, and failed to produce big plays (one run of 20 plus yards). But his most alarming stat was the paltry five first downs on the season.
Five?
Not a game…not a game…we’re talking about the season.
