Running Backs

  • Peyton Barber
  • Ronald Jones II
  • Dare Ogunbowale
  • Andre Ellington

It might be an understatement to say Ronald Jones struggled as a rookie last season. He will look to bounce back after adding weight and muscle this offseason to better handle the physical nature of the NFL. Barber has been a steady back for the past few years in Tampa Bay. Ogunbowale has impressed this offseason and looks to have taken over the third-down back role. He will likely also see his role grow as the season goes on. Ellington is an experienced back who provides extra depth.
