The running back position is solid with 1st round pick Marshawn Lynch having a solid rookie year gaining 1,115 yards & 7 TD’s while averaging 4.0 yards per carry. Lynch needs to be more involved in the passing game after catching only 18 passes. Fred Jackson, one of Lynch’s backups, is a former practice squad player, who gained 197 yards in two games against the Redskins & Dolphins. Fourth round pick Dwayne Wright is a tough, north-south runner who was buried on the depth chart, should be able to gain more playing time in 2008.
