What It Means:

Hackett described Grant as a "major change-of-pace back" that can catch the ball from the backfield. It may just be coach speak but it appears the fourth-year back will see an uptick in touches in 2018 and could replace T.J. Yeldon as the handcuff to Leonard Fournette. Grant rushed 30 times for 248 yards and 2 touchdowns in a limited role in 2017.

numberFire's algorithms project Grant for 229.6 total yards on 35.9 touches in 2018, but those numbers would rise if he moves up on the depth chart.
