Forgotten man in Jets Backfield Could Still Make Impact in 2021

The 2020 NFL season was a tough one for anyone residing at 1 Jets Drive as the club found the end zone about as often as its two previous General Managers found a quality football player. The NFL’s worst offense was led by running back Frank Gore who carried the football 187 times, averaging 3.49 YPC before calling it a career in week 15. Perhaps a tribute to his 18.7 second 40 time?

Meanwhile, little-known and less used backup Ty Johnson made the most of his few opportunities, running the ball 54 times for 254 yards (4.7 YPC) on the season.
