Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen told reporters Tuesday that running back Antonio Gibson is being pushed toward a similar role that Christian McCaffrey plays for the Carolina Panthers, per JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington.
McCaffrey has been a healthy full-time starter at running back for two seasons (2018 and 2019), and he amassed 4,357 yards from scrimmage and 32 touchdowns on 729 touches during that span. The ex-Stanford star also caught 223 passes. He missed all but three games last year because of injury.
