(Bernard 30 of 43 for 234; CJ 27 or 40 for 242). If you only take the field to spell a primary back, you're not going to get but so many touches.
Many might be viewing Gio's salary as high, for a 3rd down/change of pace back. He had 96 touches for 404 yds (combined rushing and rec.) While his salary number might be high for a 3rd down back, he's also the best pass blocking back on the team, as well as the 1st backup to Mixon.
The team got essentially no production from the two backs added to the team last year. I'm beginning to wonder if with Mixon entering a contract year, the team might be looking a RB in the 1st half of the draft. As they seem to prefer drafting RBs, compared to spending free agency money on them?

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
