Tampa Bay Buccaneers: RB Ronald Jones
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones struggled to get his footing during his rookie campaign and gained a disappointing 44 yards on 23 carries. Far more is expected from the 2018 second-round pick, and he seems more comfortable in his second year.
"RoJo has been showing out," quarterback Jameis Winston told reporters. "... He's getting comfortable in this offense. No one is breathing down his neck ... and he's out there executing at a high level."
While Winston's evaluation is promising, it's not entirely accurate. Jones doesn't have a free path toward a starting spot. He must unseat Peyton Barber as the lead back.
"He gets those 10-, 15-yard runs breaking tackles, power runner—punishing runner," head coach Bruce Arians said of Barber, per AL.com's Mark Inabinett. "When we're building something, that's the kind I want to build around."
