The Facts: There is something different about Ajayi this summer. The third-year player has a certain swagger and confidence this offseason that wasn't there a year ago. "Right now, having a couple years under my belt, knowing what I want to be, I want to be the best," Ajayi said following Day 1 of Miami's mandatory minicamp. "I strive for that. I know that to be considered the best at the running back position, you have to be a guy that can do it all."
Diehards Line:
Ajayi also has big goals in 2017 coming off a career-high 1,272 rushing yards and his first Pro Bowl. Ajayi is out to prove he is not a one-year wonder and is aiming to put his name among the elite players at his position. Ajayi was happy with his production on the ground last season, but he wasn't much of a threat in the passing game. Ajayi recorded 27 receptions for 151 yards and averaged just 5.6 yards per catch. In comparison, he averaged 4.9 yards per rush. So now Ajayi has his sights set on becoming a more complete running back. He doesn't want to come off the field on third down and ESPN.com's James Walker reports Ajayi looks much smoother running routes and finishing receptions. Yes. That would be a big deal for fantasy owners. It's something we all need to watch for during training camp.
