McNichols' elite chain-moving ability (1 in 3 touches for first down) and versatility make him strong backup option.
Jeremy McNicholsRBWAS
McNichols, drafted in the fifth round by Tampa Bay in 2017, was earmarked for the practice squad but impressed the Commanders coaching staff with his versatility and earned a roster spot. He was used effectively in rotation in 2024 and stepped in admirably after Austin Ekeler's departure in 2025, making the most of limited carries and receptions. His ability to move the chains is exceptional: on 44 rushes, 13 went for first downs; on 25 catches, 10 went for first downs—23 first downs on 69 total touches, or 1 out of every 3 touches resulting in a first down. He is a plus special teamer and protector, though special teams snaps decreased from 53% in 2024 to 14% in 2025 due to increased running back rotation involvement.
