Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury noted via the team's transcript last week that running back Brian Robinson Jr.'s focus this offseason has been "great." "Yeah, he's been really focused," said Kingsbury. "B-Rob's a guy who has played an incredibly high level....He knows what this year means to him and can mean to us when he plays at that level." The Commanders invested in their offense heavily this offseason -- fortifying their offensive front and the weapons around budding superstar Jayden Daniels. However, the running back room went essentially unchanged aside from the addition of seventh-round teammate Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Backfield mate Austin Ekeler will siphon away some touches, but the Alabama product should receive strong volume this season. It will be interesting to see how the team deploys Deebo Samuel Sr., but if he doesn't absorb too many carries, Robinson Jr. should provide decent value.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby has the team's "coaching staff frequently singing his praises" for his work early in training camp, according to John Shipley of Sports Illustrated. Shipley notes that Bigsby "got the bulk of the key reps" and "stood out quite a bit more" than Jaguars running back Travis Etienne. The 23-year-old Bigsby is entering his third year in Jacksonville and could be poised to take over a lead role in the team's backfield. He played in 16 games in 2024, recording 168 carries for 766 yards and seven touchdowns. Bigsby struggles as a receiver, but he's an efficient rusher who excels around the goal line. With head coach Liam Coen leading a new staff in Jacksonville, Bigsby could emerge as the clear RB1 for the Jaguars with a strong preseason.
