The Washington Redskins running game dropped off significantly last season from 2013, so this season they had to take steps to ensure that the running game returns to being one of the best in the NFL.
They hired a new offensive line coach in Bill Callahan who was instrumental in making the Dallas Cowboys rushing attack one of the best in the league. They also bolstered the offensive line by drafting offensive tackle Brandon Scherff.
However, one of the most significant moves the Redskins made was to draft running back Matt Jones in the third round of the draft.
