Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten was a fourth-round pick in a running back-heavy 2025 draft class, and although he only produced 386 yards from scrimmage as a rookie, he clearly showed enough for the team to bypass the position entirely in the 2026 NFL Draft, despite the departure of Travis Etienne Jr. in free […]
