Summary

After touching the ball just 71 times in his final season at Memphis, most questioned whether Antonio Gibson could handle a significant role. As a rookie, he proved doubters wrong, rushing 170 times for 795 yards, catching 36 balls for another 247 yards, and scoring 11 touchdowns. The coaches insisted Gibson was just getting started, as he was still learning the nuances of the position. In 2021, Gibson not only handled a bigger role, but he was also one of the NFL's few true workhorses. Gibson touched the ball 300 times (258 rushes and 48 receptions), ranking fourth in the league behind Najee Harris, Jonathan Taylor, and Joe Mixon. The third-year tailback remains a centerpiece of the offense and could benefit from fewer 8-man fronts if new quarterback Carson Wentz can improve the passing game.

WAS to deploy RB by committee

Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera says the team plans on deploying a running back by committee in 2022. 'Well, I think for the most part, it's going to be by committee. Some of the things that we did in Carolina we're trying to emulate, you know, we had a good two-back system,' Rivera said. 'So just feel that, you know, it's one of those things that you're going to go with, who's hot, who's rolling, you know, who's doing the good things.'
