Bhayshul Tuten

The Jaguars took Bhayshul Tuten with one of the first picks of Day 3 of the NFL Draft. Jacksonville is likely to have a messy RB committee this year with Travis Etienne, Tank Bigsby and Tuten, but Tuten's role could expand in 2026 if the Jaguars let Etienne walk after his contract expires at the end of 2025. Tuten has game-breaking, sub-4.4. speed. If he gets to the edge, look out. But Tuten is also an effective inside runner who bursts through holes and doesn't go down easily.

Tuten has solid burst and nice long speed, but Tuten doesn't consistently win the edge on stretch plays. He's best suited for a run scheme that will allow him to get north/south with one cut and hit the gas. He has good bend in traffic and can utilize decent footwork to solve problems in space, but you won't see Tuten with jump cut highlights where a defender is launched into the shadow realm. He loses speed substantially when attempting to string together multiple moves to spring himself. Tuten has a short, squatty build and can run through weak wraps with decent power, but don't expect him to be a short-yardage back or pile mover in the NFL. He needs momentum built up to access this, with these flashes occurring in the second level of defenses. Tuten's ball security issues will be brought up in the beginning of any conversation regarding his game. That's an unfortunate fact when you have nine fumbles over the last two years. This could be related to small hands, as his faulty hands have also plagued him in the passing game, with nine drops over the last three seasons. He's a decent check-down option in the passing game, operating with flat routes, leaks out of the backfield, and with swing passes primarily. His short-area lateral agility limitations and questionable hands cap his upside in the passing game.
