Analyst praises Jaguars' Tuten as potential star running back

Summary

Analyst Pete Prisco expressed confidence in Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten's ability to excel in his first season as the team's primary back. Tuten faces significant pressure following the departure of Travis Etienne, with Prisco noting his explosive speed and star potential. The Jaguars have opted for an unproven running back group rather than pursuing a high-profile replacement. Tuten has performed well during off-season workouts, but must overcome concerns about past fumbling issues. Competing against Chris Rodriguez Jr. in training camp will provide an opportunity for Tuten to solidify his status as the lead back.
