Free agent running back Rashad Jennings expects to sign with an NFL team before the start of the 2017 campaign, as he explains to Damien Sordelett of the News and Advocate.
“I’m in the best shape of my life,” Jennings said. “I’m always going to be in shape. That’s what I’m known for across the league. A team knows they’re going to have a player that’s going to be in the best shape of their life.
“Free agency right now, I’m going into year nine. I understand free agency and how it works. I feel like I’ll be landing with a team in the next two months, but right now I feel I’m in such a peaceful place in my life, though, from transitioning to another team, transitioning to other things outside of football, doing all the philanthropic work that I do.”
Released by the Giants in February, Jennings won Dancing With The Stars and is now touring with the production. While Jennings believes the show allowed him to become more balanced and have “more awareness in space,” per Sordelett, some within the NFL believe Jennings is being “blackballed” for participating in the dancing competition.
In his age-31 season, Jennings managed only 3.3 yards per carry on 181 rushes, but did add 35 receptions through the air. Indeed, his ability in the passing game figures to attract clubs, as he graded as one of the league’s best running back pass blockers, according to Pro Football Focus. PFR ranks Jennings as the second-best free agent running back available, just behind Chris Johnson.
Jennings is slow and too upright
But he’s a good dancer at least. Lol
Ravens maybe could use him ??
Ravens, Jets, Chargers, and even the Packers.
