Marshawn Lloyd is going from a season plagued by injuries to being one of the most important players on the roster. The running back room has plenty of questions, which also leaves opportunities for Lloyd.
Lloyd was drafted in 2024 adding an exciting addition to the offense. There is high upside potential. The main problem is wondering if he could stay healthy.
Lloyd spent most of 2024 and 2025 on injured reserve. However, he has been participating in all team activities this offseason entering into training camp.
Lloyd’s presence in the offense is essential to the team’s success. He is ready to get out on the field and prove himself. He continues to be spoken of highly among the team, most notably, Jordan Love.
Marshawn Lloyd’s Potential Breakout
Training camp kicks off exactly one month from today. During offseason workouts, Lloyd saw time with the number one offense. Receiving a full workload alongside Josh Jacobs and Chris Brooks.
If all three running backs enter the season, this can be a special running back room. Each player brings something different to the table. Lloyd will be able to thrive being the explosive back.
However, there are still questions about Josh Jacobs availability. Since he was charged on suspicion of domestic violence, there hasn’t been much more to the story. Jacobs went back to participate in OTA’s with the rest of the team as the investigation remains ongoing.
Nevertheless, the league will conduct their own investigation as well. I would be surprised if Jacobs received anything less than at least a six-game suspension. This has been pretty common practice for any sort of domestic violence allegation.
This is the first season Marshawn Lloyd is able to go into training camp fully healthy. If he continues to improve, expect to see his potential breakout season on the horizon.
