For a franchise with plenty of storied running backs, it’s almost shocking to think that there hasn’t been a 1000 yard rusher since Maurice Jones-Drew led the league with 1606 yards in 2011.
The big shoes of James Stewart, Fred Taylor, and MJD have found a worthy successor in rookie running back T.J. Yeldon. Yeldon has just 585 yards through nine games, but if he can keep up that pace he’ll be coming in close to 1000 yards, making him the first 1000 yard rusher since MJD’s monster season.
Back in 2011, Mojo was the Jaguars offense.
