Chargers running back JK Dobbins has played 24 games and missed 43 games in his injury-plagued NFL career, but he says he is healthy and ready to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL in 2024.
“If I can get the volume, I’ll be one of the best in the league,” Dobbins said. “I showed that. Do you know how many yards I averaged per carry?”
Dobbins is averaging 5.8 yards per carry for his career with 234 carries for 1,347 yards. Those are good numbers – or would be good numbers for a season. But those are Dobbins’ numbers through four years of his NFL career. Last year, Dobbins suffered a torn Achilles tendon in his first game, but says he now feels better than ever.
“This injury? I don’t feel anything. I actually feel faster,” Dobbins said.
After playing his entire four-year career with the Ravens, Dobbins is now in his first training camp with the Chargers. This reunites him with offensive coordinator Greg Roman, who was the Ravens’ offensive coordinator for Dobbins’ first three seasons in Baltimore. Dobbins called Roman “a genius” for his ability to put running backs in good positions to succeed.
The best way for Dobbins to be successful is to stay healthy. He seems confident he can.
