Tuten positioned for breakout with Etienne gone; elite efficiency metrics in 2025.

With Travis Etienne gone, Bhayshul Tuten will compete with Chris Rodriguez to be the lead back for the Jaguars in 2026. The source wants to bet on Tuten this year and his talent. Last year, Tuten was robbed of the stretch run of his rookie season by a finger injury, but before the injury, he was starting to make noise. This could be the big breakout season for Tuten, who flashed immense talent on a per-touch basis in college. Among 55 qualifying backs, he ranked fifth in rushing success rate, 11th in missed tackle rate, and 17th in yards after contact per attempt.
