James Conner
With Leonard Fournette signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers, James Conner will be looking for a new home. Although he has flashed big-play potential, James Conner regressed a bit last season. He could still end up as a pro-bowl back, however, he needs to find the right system. Conner is a powerful running back who has a nose for the end zone.
Conner also has flashed the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. He has the ability to be an every-down back. If he lands on the right team he could be a pro-bowler once again.
The team that fits Conner the best is the Washington Football Team. Washington head coach Ron Rivera runs a power back system that likes to involve the back in the passing game. The team will have a lot of cap space to work with and could rebuild their offensive line. Conner could serve as the feature back and the focal point of Washington’s attack.
Washington is in a bit of a rebuild. However, there are talented players on the roster. Rookie Chase Young has the makings to be a franchise cornerstone. Dwayne Haskins got better each week and still has the potential to grow into the role of a franchise quarterback. The future in Washington is brighter than it’s past. Signing James Conner could be a step in the right direction and help this team form it’s identity.
Prediction: Washington Football Team
