After being suspended for the first 4 games of 2016, the Steelers gave him an enormous workload. Including playoffs, he averaged 27 touches/game for 15 straight games. The following season, 2017, his YPA dropped from 4.9 to 4.0 and his YPR dropped from 8.2 to 7.7. During that season, 17 games including playoffs, he averaged 25 touches/per-- so nearly the same heavy workload. What do you think will happen to his efficiency numbers now? Before he held out into the regular season, I was expecting a season under 4 yards per carry.You just don't put that kind of load on a back and have them maintain efficiency. Aaron Jones was fantastic last season and it escaped national notice because of the lost season. On a per touch basis, he was better than Dalvin Cook. I persist that he is better than Dalvin Cook. Time will tell. But that's the RB reinforcement you want, and he's on the way-- a 23 year old with only 90 NFL touches to his name.</blockquote>
