Rashad is proving too good to be a mop-up player.I agree. For teams looking for a running back, Rashad is going to be quite the option. They aren't moving MJD - he's a legitimate MVP candidate this season.

Backup running back now playing a key role in team’s resurgence

One day, Rashad Jennings just started running.
He ran three-and-a-half miles to the YMCA and then ran all the way back every other day in his home of Forest, Va. On weekends, he ran some more.
His mother thought he was crazy. People in the neighborhood wondered why he ran so much. Jennings was heading into his senior year of high school, and he had a thought that he could play football in college. But chubby and out of shape, as he tells it, few noticed him, so Jennings started running.
Q&A with Rashad JenningsOh yeah, it sounds like LU is practically a backwoods DIII technical school based on that article. Anybody else think staying in FCS anonymity is a great idea?
You’re close to your brothers Butch (38) and Bryan (35). How do they help you?
We just remind each other of what we set out to do and what our heart tells us to do. … [They’ll say] Rashad, remember when you were 6 years old? Remember when you were 15 years old? You had asthma, you were overweight, you were fat. You remember the ministry you wanted to build through the NFL?
You’re one of the fittest guys in the locker room. You were overweight as a kid? Were you made fun of?
I got fat, asthma and glasses. Chubby, overweight, I’m still a dork. But that kid that you would’ve looked at. Whenever I go around and talk to schools I always try to bring pictures. Baby picture or a picture when I was not who I am today to remind people that dreams ain’t far-fetched.
How does that affect how you are as an adult?
I love to learn from men and women who had to go through things. Whenever I go train, I never look to train with the fastest players that are just God-gifted fast. I train with the people who had to work. They had to figure out things along the way.

The Jaguars could be without the focal point of their offense when they host the Redskins Sunday.
Running back Maurice Jones-Drew did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful on the team's injury report. Jones-Drew is nursing a knee injury and could be rested against Washington despite Jacksonville chasing a playoff spot. The Jaguars (8-6) can still win the AFC South by winning out and hoping the Colts (8-6) slip up.
