Rashad Jennings used to be a fat and chubby kid without much in the way of motivation. He weighed 268 pounds and only ran a 4.67 40-yd dash coming– he was actually recruited as a defensive end coming out of high school. He was determined to be considered as a RB prospect and worked his way down to 231 pounds, and turned his 40 into a ripe time of 4.4 seconds. Back in high school, he set all sorts of Virginia state records as a tailback all the while also playing defensive end. This kid’s got some skeeeels…
With the departure of Fred Taylor, Rashad seems to have a good line to becoming an RB of worth on the Jaguars, especially because of his size. Jones-Drew is obviously a smaller back and will probably need to take off a series or two from time to time to keep himself fresh, so that could be the opportunity Jennings needs to show the Jags brass what he’s made of. Being a rookie, it might take him some time to work himself into a regular rotation, so we wouldn’t draft him straight out of the gate. Keep an eye out for him as the season rolls along though as he has tremendous potential and could be a sleeper of sorts, especially if something happens to MJD.
Rashad signed a rookie four-year deal worth $1.788 million back in July. Besides a $38,000 signing bonus, a fourth-year escalator is also available that could push his 2010 salary up to $1.3 million. Broken down:
2009 - $310,000
2010 - $395,000
2011 - $480,000
2012 - $565,000
2013 - Free Agent

Nothing to worry about with Jennings.
Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio gave running back Maurice Jones-Drew 38 touches in Week 6, and Del Rio believes that's just too much. "I'd like to get Rashad Jennings more involved," Del Rio said. "We need Rashad to step up at some point, [and] Greg Jones to be called upon to do a little bit more."
Pyro's Take:
Del Rio is right. Jones-Drew may be a workhorse, but he's only 5'7", so bodily punishment will eventually take it's toll. Look for Del Rio to keep MJD in check going forward, but that won't affect his fantasy football RB1 value.
Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew had 26 touches in the game against the Colts on Sunday while his backup, Rashad Jennings, had zero.
Pyro's Take:
MJD is an every-down back, and there's no reason he won't be going forward. The only reason to have Jennings handcuffed to Jones-Drew is in case of injury.
The Jacksonville Jaguars decided to enter the season with just two legitimate running backs on the squad after releasing RB Chauncey Washington. Rookie RB Rashad Jennings has the backup job behind Maurice Jones-Drew all to himself now.
Pyro's Take:
This is surprising move considering their backup RB is a rookie. Fullback Greg Jones can carry the ball as well, but we expect the Jags to be searching the waiver wire for another guy to add as well.
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie RB Rashad Jennings returned to practice on Monday after sitting out Saturday night's preseason game with a groin injury.
Pyro's Take:
Jennings had been working real hard in camp and was impressing his coaches until the minor setback. He needs to come back strong if he wants to beat out Greg Jones for the backup duties to Maurice Jones-Drew. If Jennings can show the Jaguar brass a little something the next few days in practice, then have a nice game on Thursday against the Eagles, he will be the one fantasy owners need to handcuff to MJD. Keep a watchful eye on this situation.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to terms with their seventh-round draft choice Rashad Jennings. Jennings signed a four-year, $1.788 million contract.
Pyro's Take:
Jennings has put together an impressive offseason and will challenge Greg Jones for the backup RB spot to MJD. However, MJD will own the rushing attack so expect nothing much out of either of these guys.
