JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars still have a long way to go before they determine who their No. 1 RB is. Or if they even have one at all. But regardless of how the Jaguars' running back battle between Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. plays out over the next month and through the regular season, it seems safe to say that, one way or another, Tuten is set to give the Jaguars some clear value. Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (16) hands off to running back Bhayshul Tuten (33) during the fifth day of NFL training camp at the Miller Electric Center on Monday, Aug. 3, 2026, in Jacksonville, Fla. Today marked the first full‑pads practice. | USA TODAY Network via Reuters ConnectTuten's ValueRegardless of which running back leads the backfield in carries and key opportunities this season, Tuten is the type of player who is going to give the Jaguars more value than just at running back. One of the things Tuten did best as a rookie was give the Jaguars a spark on special teams, frequently giving the Jaguars and Heath Farwell's unit a leg-up thanks to his ability as a kick-returner. No matter how the backfield plays out this season, it would be wise for the Jaguars to continue to let Tuten impact the special teams unit. As a rookie, he recorded 19 kickoff returns for 539 yards (28.4 average). His 28.4 average yards per kickoff return ranked first among rookies in 2025 (min. 15 returns)
