    He’s not a special teams contributor, his pass protection is poor, and he’s only adequate as a power back. That’s really it.

    I don’t see a clear role for him on this roster. Unless the team suffers an injury at running back, I think he’s got an appointment with the Turk at the end of camp.

    Seems pretty simple to me, not sure it warrants a new thread. He doesn't have a role. He hasn't earned one yet.

    KJ will have the same opportunity to compete for a job in that RB room just like all the rest. Nothing special or surprising either way in that.
