The Washington Football Team is coming off of a 3-13 season, but there is one position where they have appear to have plenty of talent: running back. With one of the best backs in history who refuses to slow down in and then a young star in , Avery Bradley Jersey  it certainly didn't appear to be a position Washington would look to add to this offseason, but that's exactly what new head coach Ron Rivera did. Apart from signing and J.D. McKi sic in free agency, Washington also spent a third-round pick on former Memphis weapon -- who will be listed as a running back. Even with all of these additions, there's still another player who may end up playing a major role for Washington in the backfield this upcoming season. was selected by Washington in the fourth round of the 2019 . The former Stanford star fell down draft boards after tearing his ACL on the final play of his collegiate career and didn't play  Kyle Anderson Jersey a single snap during his rookie season. Now, however, the former Heisman runner-up is back healthy and ready to make an impact at the next level.During a Tuesday Zoom call, Rivera told reporters  C.J. Miles Jersey that Love had pa sed his physical and that he will get to compete at the running back position. Rivera said that they will want to watch him "closely," and that they are excited about his potential in the backfield, .  In four years at Stanford, Love rushed for 3,865 yards and 30 touchdowns. He was one of the most dynamic running backs in over the past few seasons, and rushed for an incredible 2,118 yards during his junior season."This kid, unbelievable," , who serves as Washington's Director of College Scouting. "2017 he finished what, second in the Heisman? He was 2,000 yards rushing, eight-point something average, tremendous production, he had an unfortunate injury this year in the last game of the year with the ACL. He's (ahead of) schedule of coming back, we are going to take it slow with him but at that position, fourth round -- it was a pick that -- the guy was graded so high we couldn Xavier Tillman Jersey 't pa s him up. So we will add him to the mix and we'll take it slow and be patient with him."  Both Peterson and Guice are definitively above Love on the depth chart, but the former is now 35 and the latter has played in just five games in two years due to injuries. Gibson is someone who will probably line up in several different spots on offense and work primarily as a gadget player while Barber and McKi sic are going to have to compete for a roster spot. If Peterson finally begins to regre s and Guice struggles with injuries again, there's a po sibility Love will have the opportunity to play a major Gorgui Dieng Jersey  role in the backfield this season.
