Corey Grant Growing Into Bigger Role
6 years agoJacksonville Jaguars running back Corey Grant has been featured so far in the preseason and his speed has impressed since he arrived as an undrafted free agent in 2015. Grant had 122 yards in the Week 17 finale in 2016. His role has expanded on special teams, and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett is likely to give Grant more of a role in 2018. The 26-year-old carried the ball just 30 times for 248 yards (8.3 yards per carry) and two touchdowns last year, but he showed his upside in the playoff loss to the Patriots and his stock is on the rise as a backup to Leonard Fournette and T.J. Yeldon. Don't forget his name.
