Having a running game is a privilege Redskins quarterback Alex Smith has enjoyed for much of his career. In twelve full seasons, Smith has had the pleasure of playing with two all-time greats in Frank Gore and Jamaal Charles.
When Charles inevitably declined and left Kansas City, it didn’t take long for Smith to find another running back to help him direct a balanced offense. Kareem Hunt smoothened the transition in 2017, leading the league in rushing yards as a rookie, as well as providing an outlet in the passing game.
Now with the Redskins, Smith has his next lead back in Derrius Guice.
