Jacksonville Jaguars’ Scrimmage Provides Clarity in Running Back Competition

Tuten appeared to be the primary back, being the one to open up drives. He possesses the speed to produce explosive plays and could receive most of the early-down opportunities in the regular season. However, it was clear that Tuten won't be fully relied on, as he was removed in scoring situations.

Rodriguez provides a more physical rushing style, and it is clear that close to the goal line that is what the Jaguars are valuing, as that is where he found himself sitting in the rotation.

For Allen, he ended up being rotated in on every third-down situation. With his receiving ability and pass protection skills, it makes sense to have him be the running back that is relied upon in these situations.

With this being the rotation they established in their scrimmage, it is more than likely that this will be the committee approach they roll with during the regular season.
