Louisiana-Lafayette running back Elijah McGuire will be taking his talents to the New York Jets for the upcoming season. He will look to play a role on an offensive scheme that suits his skill set and does not shy away from the running back by committee model giving him a chance to get touches early. If everything falls into place, he has the potential to be remembered as an absolute steal in the 2017 draft.
McGuire joins a corps of running backs that featured Matt Forte and Bilal Powell during the 2016 season.
