“It was an opportunity to come in and be this two-back backfield,” Ekeler said. “That really was intriguing to me.”
Ekeler, who recorded 1,000 scrimmage yards for the fourth time in his seven-year career, will be joining third-year pro Brian Robinson Jr. to revitalize a backfield that showed flashes despite a lack of attention in 2023. Where Robinson will be the primary back between the tackles, Ekeler is expected to be versatile threat he’s been his whole career, providing Washington with an offensive weapon that’s lead the league in scoring twice.
And Ekeler predicts there will be a lot of scoring from him as a piece of Washington’s new backfield.
