Jets HC Robert Saleh ‘excited’ to work with ‘dynamic’ RB unit

As I’ve mentioned before — this isn’t the eras of Curtis Martin or Freeman McNeil.

Le’Veon Bell? Yeah, that ship sailed (or sunk if we’re being totally honest).

This Jets backfield is different, in a sense there’s no clearcut lead dog or workhorse who will earn the majority of the reps. Numerous individuals reside in the running back room, each of whom could find his own role within coordinator Mike LaFleur’s offense.

Sure, it’s exciting to employ a Derrick Henry or a Christian McCaffrey or a Dalvin Cook; someone who will assume the bulk of the load and be a top-tier weapon who you can gameplan around.
