The injury in 2020 pretty much put an end to him as a real running threat. He’s still having problems with that ankle. He was wearing a boot prior to training camp because it gets sore. When he does run he looks like he’s trotting.
That could be yeah.
His rushing numbers in college were big time, and I recall him extending many drives with his feet in his rookie year in the NFL.
Then someone decided he ought to be a pocket passer. That produced meh results, but then the injury was a real setback.
Jerry found it easier/better to pay him 400 million afterward than to find a replacement.
I dunno, maybe they are “saving him” like they are his RB buddy.
