As the offense continues to take shape before the 2015 season, Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden says the team is still in search of a third-down back to complement Alfred Morris.
While Alfred Morris continues to be fully entrenched as the Redskins’ primary running back, the team is still in search for a consistent contributor as its primary third-down back.
Veteran Roy Helu Jr. filled that role for the last two full seasons, recording more receiving yards than rushing yards in the process, but is now a member of the Oakland Raiders.
Behind Morris on the roster currently are Chris Thompson and Silas Redd Jr.
