Tank Bigsby Will Have Opportunity To Become No. 2 Back
2 years agoJacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Tank Bigsby, who was selected in the third round (88th overall) in this year's NFL draft, lives up to his "Tank" nickname at 6-foot and 213 pounds. Bigsby will have plenty of opportunity to quickly become the team's primary backup to Travis Etienne Jr. and could even out-touch him in some games, depending on who has the hot hand. But it will also take time for Bigsby to earn significant third-down repetitions, as rookies tend to struggle in pass protection early in their NFL careers. The Jaguars have already said they'd like to lighten Etienne's load after they road him pretty hard in 2022, which opens the door for Bigsby to make an early impact. The 21-year-old will quickly become a popular late-round fantasy selection, especially for managers that have already drafted Etienne.
