Where Etienne Ranks Among the NFL's Top Running Backs
How does Travis Etienne stack up among the NFL's best running backs entering the upcoming season, according to this national outlet? Pro Football Focus is rolling out an offseason series ranking all the projected starters at each position heading into the 2024 campaign, and this week, Etienne landed just outside the top 10 of PFF's running back rankings. The former Clemson and current Jacksonville Jaguars star checked in at No. 11 on the list. “Etienne upped his workload in 2023 and reaped the benefits, posting another 1,000-yard rushing season and adding 11 touchdowns on the ground while earning a 77.0 grade — 17th best among running backs,” PFF's Thomas Valentine wrote.

Expert Commentary
The Jaguars get brownie points for trading down here. Thomas is an explosive wide receiver who has the physical frame that the Jaguars needed in their wide receiver room. Thomas is a bit raw on some of the finer points of wide receiver play, but there’s no doubting his potential to be a truly dynamic playmaker in the NFL.

Expert Commentary
Smith is a talented player with the upside to be something special, but it’s not quite there yet for him. He is in a nice situation with Josh Allen and Travon Walker on the outside, but will need some coaching up to get where he wants to be in the NFL.

Another All-Juice team selection, Jones has a chance to develop into a solid starter for the Jaguars down the road.
