The Facts: The Jaguars drafted Yeldon to be the workhorse tailback they'd been missing. However, Yeldon said on Tuesday he'd currently place himself at the bottom of the running back depth chart. "I got myself as last and I'm still trying to work my way up to the top," Yeldon said. "I'm just out there to compete and work my way up to the top, see what I can do."
Diehards Line:
As NFL.com suggests, it might not be a steep hill for Yeldon to climb during next month's training camp. His competition is set to be Toby Gerhart (coming off a disappointing season), Denard Robinson (a rotational scat back) and Bernard Pierce (also coming off a poor season). Some believe that Yeldon could become a three-down player in Greg Olson's offense. The Jags have been searching for an answer in the backfield for years. If Yeldon can climb the depth chart ladder quickly in July, he could quickly become an every-down player.
