What an off-season can do. Exiting 2018, the Buffalo Bills’ depth at running back was a major, major, (did I say major?) team need. Last season, the offense rotated through three subpar backs; a regressing LeSean McCoy, Chris Ivory, and Marcus Murphy. At times, it got so bad, that full back Patrick DiMarco had to play the position. Now, entering 2019, their depth at the position is a plus.
Only two running backs remain from last year’s team — LeSean McCoy and Marcus Murphy. Instead of driving on worn tires, general manager Brandon Beane opted to upgrade the position, in a big way.
