Breece Corridor seems to be at his personal résumé and isn’t proud of what he sees.
Two of his Jets teammates in his draft class — Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson — signed massive contract extensions this offseason. But Corridor is ready to be an unrestricted free agent after the season.
However he doesn’t but consider he’s performed sufficient to earn a long-term deal of his personal.
“I’m not really expecting it before the season,” Corridor mentioned after observe Saturday. “We got a new head coach, a new GM, obviously I wasn’t drafted by them, I’m not their guy. I gotta prove it every day.”
Corridor has proven flashes of stardom throughout his three years within the league, however has not firmly established himself in that elite tier of dual-threat operating backs that Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffrey and Jahmyr Gibbs occupy.
Final 12 months, the addition of Braelon Allen and the dramatic improve in cross makes an attempt with a wholesome Aaron Rodgers resulted in a smaller workload than Corridor had turn out to be accustomed to.
His speeding yardage (876), receiving yardage (483) and effectivity (4.2 yards per carry) had been all down from the prior season.
Allen, who was drafted within the fourth spherical final 12 months, confirmed promise as a rookie, recording 334 speeding yards and 148 receiving yards in a complementary position.
Coach Aaron Glenn has steered he intends to make use of three operating backs — Corridor, Allen and Isaiah Davis — in a system just like what the Lions utilized when Glenn was there.
Corridor nonetheless believes he’s a three-down operating again, although. And he hears the clock ticking.
“I got a chip on my shoulder,” Corridor mentioned. “I feel like right now, ‘OK this is my last chance.’ For me it’s always been, ‘Oh he has potential, he’s got potential,’ but I want to be the product. Now, it’s all about putting my head down and working. I don’t really want to discuss all the other stuff, I just try to focus on ball right now.”
Justin Fields is a robust runner at quarterback, offering the potential of a harmful operating duo together with Corridor.
And Corridor has loved offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand’s plans for him and Fields.
“I think from a whole offensive standpoint, we’re all really bought into this run scheme,” Corridor mentioned. “I think it fits our backs more. I think it makes a lot more sense to the guys up front and the reasoning why we’re doing everything and what we’re doing it for, how we’re gonna set other plays up with our run game. To see how much we’ve all bought into it and trust in our coaches, it’s been good.”
