Coach Gruden has designated running back Robert Kelley as the lead back moving forward. How is Kelley preparing for his new role?
After a strong game against the Bengals, Coach Jay Gruden has named rookie Rob Kelley the new starting running back for the Redskins.
Kelley’s appointment comes off the heels of an 87-yard rushing game. The 6-foot’, 228 pound back ran the ball powerfully and proved hard to bring down. Additionally, his performance earned the respect of many teammates and coaches. Ultimately, Coach Gruden decided to hand over the reins of the starting job.
