No. 4: Kapri Bibbs

Acquired from the Denver Broncos this past offseason in a draft-day trade, Bibbs is the fourth member of a crowded backfield. It’s difficult to project Bibbs as he’s not a draft selection by the regime, and he’s yet to truly play in his first two seasons — only played in 12 games, producing 129 rushing yards and a touchdown.

He looks set to be more of a developmental player, with his young age (24 years old) and low production, rather than a true contender for starting running back.
