The Facts: While rookie RB Keith Marshall will be worth watching, ESPN.com's John Keim wrote: "Make no mistake, though: Matt Jones is the starter and the guy the Redskins are most excited about. Period."
Diehards Line:
Jones had an inconsistent and injury-plagued rookie season. Big games were often followed by unproductive ones. He finished with a subpar 3.4 yards per carry and he lost four fumbles. He also missed a total of four games due to injury. But Jones' size and a handful of eye-popping plays last season have Jay Gruden and the team hopeful that a strong offseason could lead to a breakout year for the Florida product. Gruden also said he expected the 23-year-old to be 100-percent after Jones had a minor procedure to correct the hip ailment that caused him to miss the final two regular season games and the Wild Card loss to the Packers.
