In a recent game against the New England Patriots, Tank Bigsby showcased his potential by rushing for 118 yards and two touchdowns, stepping up in the absence of Travis Etienne Jr. due to a hamstring injury. Despite Bigsby's impressive performance, Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson reaffirmed that Etienne remains the team's RB1, emphasizing the importance of competition and the explosiveness Etienne brings to the field.
