Robert Kelley has earned his way up the Washington Redskins’ depth chart over the last few months. Now it appears his hard work will result in a starter’s workload.
During his press conference on Monday, Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said that he’s not going to project how the running back carries will be split between the team’s four running backs, but right now the position is “going through” Kelley.
Kelley admitted he was a little surprised hearing the news from the head coach considering his route to the Redskins, but he’s happy to be in a situation where the Redskins need him to contribute.
