Salvon Ahmed

Washington’s all-time leading rusher, Myles Gaskin, is off to the NFL, leaving the backfield to Ahmed. Through two years, Ahmed has shown strong ability as both a runner and as a pass-catcher, highlighted by averaging 5.8 YPC in 2018 and catching 21 of 22 targets. Gaskin commanded 259 rushes last season, so while Ahmed may not see his workload ramp up to that level immediately, he still figures to push for 200 carries. And with the efficiency Ahmed has shown to this point, that volume of carries will result in strong production for the newly minted starter.
