After running back Bhayshul Tuten underwent finger surgery, the Jacksonville Jaguars moved quickly to add depth to their backfield. Sure, fellow rookie LeQuint Allen will pick up some of the slack, but the team needed a No. 3 behind him and Travis Etienne. Enter DeeJay Dallas.
The Jags signed Dallas a few days after the win over the New York Jets. He's fit right in as he grew up rooting for former All-Pro running back Maurice Jones-Drew. Surprisingly, the admiration is mutual.
