Last season, the Buffalo Bills’ leading rusher was a rookie for the second year in a row. At least it was a running back this time, though, as the team’s 2018 rushing leader was quarterback Josh Allen.
Heading into the 2019 season, the team badly needed an infusion of youth at the running back position. After fielding a roster topped by 30-somethings at a position dominated by young players, Buffalo has swung in the complete opposite direction this year. The oldest running back on the current depth chart is Taiwan Jones, whose role is on special teams and not the offense.
