The Jacksonville Jaguars will be leaning on Maurice Jones-Drew in 2010

Blogged under Positional Previews, Bloglockers, Front Page, General by admin on Wednesday 16 June 2010 at 10:59 am

25-year old RB Maurice Jones-Drew will be the main man on offense for the Jaguars once again in 2010.  Drew played in 16 games (all starts) in his first season as the main man and he carried the ball 312 times for 1,391 yards (4.5 ypc) with 15 TD runs.  He also caught 53 passes for 374 yards (7.1 avg) with 1 TD grab last season.  The Jaguars must make sure they keep the offense balanced so that Drew will have room to work.  Drew has now played in 63 games (20 starts) in his four years with the Jags in which he has carried the ball 842 times for 3,924 yards (4.7 ypc) with 49 TD runs.  He has also caught 201 passes for 1,782 yards (8.9 avg) with 5 TD grabs in his career with the Jags. 

Rashad Jennings was solid as a rookie last season and he will likely get more work in 2010 in a attempt to keep Drew healthy and fresh.  Jennings played in 15 games (0 starts) for the Jags last year and he carried the ball 39 times for 202 yards (5.2 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He also caught 16 passes for 101 yards (6.3 avg) last year. 

Rookie 6th round pick Deji Karim out of Southern Illinois will be #3 in line for carries in Jacksonville in 2010.
