While his playing days in Tuscaloosa may have come and gone, former Crimson Tide running back T.J. Yeldon’s football career is anything but over.
Yeldon was drafted 36th overall in the second round of the 2015 NFL draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars — the highest drafted running back by the Jaguars since they drafted Fred Taylor with the ninth overall pick back in 1998. Nearly a month and half after that, he signed his first NFL contract, a four-year deal worth $5.9 million.
The @Jaguars pick up a talented RB in TJ Yeldon.
