Jacksonville Jaguars: 4 backup targets for RB James Robinson in 2021
Zamir White has had limited opportunities for the Bulldogs in 2020 but has made the most out of them. The Georgia running back has racked up 121 carries for 614 yards and nine touchdowns. He has the speed, agility, and balance to run the ball efficiently and excels in pass blocking.
Although White needs to work on his route-running, he’s the kind of player that could get off the bench, make a few plays, and keep James Robinson fresh. This Jacksonville team currently has one third-round pick and two fourth-round selections, they could use one to upgrade their backup running back position.
Back when running back Le’Veon Bell opted to sit-out the 2018 season, it looked like the Pittsburgh Steelers’ running game had suffered a serious blow. Nevertheless, they trusted then-sophomore James Conner and their offense ranked seventh in rushing touchdowns that year. All in all, he racked up 215 carries for 973 yards and 12 touchdowns.
The Steelers have given Conner a smaller workload these past two seasons, but he’s still been effective when he’s had his name called. He’s set to become a free agent in 2021 and should command a reasonable salary despite the fact the demand for his services might be high.
