The Facts: After signing RB Kenjon Barber earlier last week, the Bolts continued to bolster the running back position by re-signing Oliver to a one-year contract.
Diehards Line:
Oliver burst onto the scene as a rookie when injuries thrust him into action after he defied the odds to make the 53-man roster. He appeared in 14 games with seven starts, rushing for 582 yards and three touchdowns along with 36 receptions for 271 yards and another score. Unfortunately, the running back missed the past year and half after suffering a pair of injuries. The first was a toe injury on Nov. 1, 2015 against the Ravens. Then, after an impressive start to training camp last season, he ruptured his Achilles in the third preseason game and was lost for the entire year. He seems the most likely candidate to handle the No. 2 spot behind Melvin Gordon.
