Doug Pederson Impressed With Travis Etienne Jr.
3 years agoJacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson has been impressed with running back Travis Etienne Jr. so far this offseason. "He's doing a great job handling a lot of information that we're throwing at the guys. We're putting him in different spots and seeing what he can do right now. This is the time to do that stuff, to really experiment on both sides of the ball and see what the guys can do. He's one of those guys," Pederson said. Etienne is recovered from the Lisfranc foot injury that sidelined him for all of his rookie season, and he could be the unquestioned lead back if James Robinson (Achilles) isn't recovered in time for Week 1. But even with Robinson in the fold, Etienne could see plenty of pass-catching work, making him especially intriguing as an RB2 with upside.
