Liam Coen to Bhayshul Tuten: Go be special
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Jaguars head coach Liam Coen initially described the running back competition as "truly wide open" among Chris Rodriguez, Bhayshul Tuten, and LeQuint Allen during the offseason program.
- Coen is now focusing on Bhayshul Tuten’s potential for a breakout season, noting that Tuten has overcome a learning curve after his rookie year and no longer has Travis Etienne ahead of him on the depth chart.
- Tuten, a fourth-round pick out of Virginia Tech, is praised for his speed (4.28 forty-yard dash) and ability to find the end zone and gain yards after contact, with Coen expecting him to play a major role this fall.
- The Jaguars, who won 13 games last season and finished strong with nine wins in their last ten regular-season games, aim to maintain their status as AFC contenders, with Tuten’s development seen as a key factor.
