Jennings Hoping to Build on Strong 2015 Campaign

The running back played a full season for the first time in his career in 2015. Not coincidentally, he also rushed for a career-high 863 yards and three touchdowns on 195 carries.

Injuries have been a dominant theme for Jennings ever since the Jacksonville Jaguars selected him in the seventh round of the 2009 draft. He missed four games through his first two years before a knee injury wiped out all of 2011. Between 2012 and 2014, Jennings was out for a combined 12 games.

It would be a major stretch to say Jennings has ever played at an elite level, even in his prime. He averaged 4.2 yards a carry before the start of the 2016 season. When he's healthy, though, Jennings is a productive runner. Football Outsiders ranked him 12th at his position last year in DYAR (defense-adjusted yards above replacement).
