And one of the teams he mentions is the reigning AFC North champions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite Derrick Henry\u2019s contract extension, he isn\u2019t getting any younger, and Keaton Mitchell has yet to prove to top over 1,000 yards in one season,&#8221; Palacios wrote. &#8220;Etienne is more proven if he can stay consistent and take over as the starter once Henry runs out of gas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Jags selected Etienne out of Clemson University in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, but his snap count was vastly reduced for whatever reason in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The 26-year-old running back had just 150 rushing attempts this past season, which was 18 less than the player who is listed as his backup on the depth chart, Tank Bigsby.<\/p>\n<p>Two seasons ago in 2023, Etienne finished with 1,008 yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground. He was also able to show his versatility with 476 yards and a touchdown through the air.<\/p>\n<p>Henry will still be the lead back through the 2027 season, when his contract expires. But after that, the plan is not clear yet for the Ravens, but going after Etienne could be a very intriguing option for the team to explore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Baltimore Ravens have one of, if not the best running back room in the entire NFL, and there is a chance that it could be pushed&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":56507,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-56506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
