Lost in all the excitement of the acquisition of second round running back T.J. Yeldon is the maturation and development of Denard Robinson. Entering his third season in the NFL as a quarterback-converted-to-running back, Shoelace has improved in each year.
Heading into 2015, Robinson is sitting behind Yeldon on the depth chart, but that doesn’t mean Robinson won’t have a prominent role in the offense.
In limited time last week, Robinson was extremely effective running behind an improved offensive line during the Jaguars first preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s easy to forget just how productive Robinson was when he first got into the starting lineup in 2014.
