T.J. Yeldon was drafted in the second round of the 2015 NFL draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars, which certainly puts a new level of pressure on him. However, circumstances have changed over the offseason, and he's now walking into an even more intense situation.
The injury of first-round selection Dante Fowler Jr. meant a lot of things for the Jaguars, but a part of the aftermath directly affects Yeldon. The 6'1", 226-pound back is now a pseudo-first pick, and that means the pressure to succeed is even more prevalent.
It doesn't help that the Jaguars have some legends at running back in their brief history with Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew.
