Through the preseason it has clearly been established that the addition of running back Chris Ivory to the Jacksonville Jaguars rushing attack has been a net positive. In fact, it’s been downright impressive.
Through two preseason games, Ivory has combined with T.J. Yeldon for 92 yards on 18 carries. That’s a solid 5.1 yards per carry average. Ivory is showing that he is still a potent threat at age 28 and Yeldon is showing he can be a more mature runner.
It isn’t all about how good these two backs are, though. The run blocking has also seen a sharp uptick.
