The Jaguars used their No. 36 overall pick on Alabama's T.J. Yeldon. We wanted to know more about our new feature back, so we went to SB Nation's Roll Bama Roll for some answers.
The Jacksonville Jaguars wanted a running back going into the 2015 NFL Draft so badly they nearly traded back into the first round to get Todd Gurley or Melvin Gordon. But when both went quicker than expected, they turned their attention towards Alabama running back T.J. Yeldon, making him the 36th overall pick.
Yeldon had some very good NFL Combine numbers coming into the NFL Draft, hence why Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell and head coach Gus Bradley felt comfortable selecting him at the top of the second round.
