De'Von Achane significantly increased his workload in his second NFL season, handling 281 touches compared to 103 in his rookie year. His rushing attempts rose to 203, while his receptions jumped from 27 to 78, showcasing his pass-catching effectiveness. Despite a drop in rushing efficiency, from 7.8 to 4.5 yards per carry, Achane is expected to share responsibilities with second-year player Jaylen Wright and offseason acquisitions Alexander Mattison and Ollie Gordon II. Achane values the competition within the group, appreciating how different skill sets can complement each other in the running back room.
Achane's second NFL season saw him handle nearly twice as many carries as he did as a rookie, from 103 to 203, while his pass-catching production jumped from 27 receptions to 78.
Achane's 4.5 yards per carry last season was still strong but pales in comparison to his record-breaking 7.8 as a rookie; maintaining such high standards is challenging.
Help could be on the way in relieving Achane from some pressure with Wright in his second season, alongside new additions like Mattison and Gordon.
Achane emphasized the importance of competition in the running back room, noting how it helps elevate each player’s performance and brings diverse skill sets.
