The 2022 season for Jerick McKinnon was a resurgence in productivity for his career. The 30-year-old became more than just a third-down running back, becoming an essential part of the offense as the season progressed.
McKinnon has accumulated an impressive 56 receptions for 512 yards and nine touchdowns, shattering running back records in the process. He finished the season with six consecutive games with a touchdown reception joining NFL legend Marshall Faulk and Austin Ekeler of the Los Angeles Chargers as the only running backs in the last 30 years to catch at least eight touchdowns in a season. During the stretch, McKinnon was recently named AFC Offensive Player of the Month and had the opportunity to speak with reporters about the honor after Tuesday’s practice.
