Austin Ekeler has the most scrimmage touchdowns in the past two years and became the fifth running back in NFL history last season to have at least 100 catches in a season. Instead, it has been about him trying to unite veteran running backs in seeking improved salaries along with fighting the narrative that the position has lost its value in a passing-heavy league. Ekeler organized a Zoom call with other running backs last Saturday that also included Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, Nick Chubb, Derrick Henry and Christian McCaffrey.
Today I unveil the running backs on my 21st Century Jets Wine Cellar Team.
I am putting together a 53 man roster of Jets players since the year 2000. This isn’t an all-century roster. I am trying.
