After being signed as a free agent by the Jaguars in 2016, running back Chris Ivory is focused on contributing in 2017 rather than competing against first-round pick Leonard Fournette.
Ivory has been running with the first team to this point in OTAs, after missing five games in 2016 with an illness and hamstring injury.
Ivory’s PFF grade of 54.2 in 2016 was the lowest of his career, and part of that could be a result of accumulating less yards after contact.
From 2013 to 2015, Ivory didn’t have less than 487 yards after contact in a season, but his yards after contact per carry in 2016 was a career low of 2.
