The Raiders are stocked with running backs who have roots in Alabama.

Jacobs missed two early games and Drake missed the final five of the regular season with injuries. But in the games in which only one of the running backs was available, Las Vegas posted a 6-1 record. The Raiders went 4-6 when both played.In 2022, Jacobs and Drake will work with a head coach who has demonstrated an adeptness at managing multiple running backs.

“We’ve always tried to have as much depth in that room as we can. I think it’s a position that’s really critical to have good players, but it’s also really critical to have good depth that you can plug in there and they can serve a lot of roles.” Abdullah also averaged 22.3 yards on 29 kickoff returns last season. Abdullah led the NFL in kickoff-return yards as a rookie in 2015, when he was the Detroit Lions’ leading rusher, too. Abdullah has transitioned during his career from the No. 1 ball-carrier to a third-down back/special-teams role.
