James Robinson is a great UFA. Jags struck gold, and he’s a great power punch and change of pace back for Etienne but rest assured.. Etienne is more than a 3rd down back.
With the exception of Penny, everyone had over 1,000 scrimmage yards (Michel had 981 close enough) if you don’t believe it you should folks.... 1ST ROUND CAPITAL EXISTS. And the Jags just invested.

Last piece..... he doesn’t need to build chemistry with his QB. He’s got that chemistry already built. I’m sure Lawrence was a good influence on his arrival in Jacksonville.
