RICHMOND https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/authentic-terry-mclaurin-jersey , Va. (AP)Jay Gruden isn’t handing the starting running back job to rookie Derrius Guice.The Washington Redskins coach wants Guice – or someone else – to earn it.How the backfield shakes out is the biggest question the Redskins face as they opentraining camp . Guice, former starter Rob Kelley and 2017 draft pick Samaje Perine are all vying to be the feature back alongside third-down star Chris Thompson at a position the Redskins desperately need improvement from after being fifth-worst in the NFL last season.”It’s a great three-way competition really with Guice, obviously `Fat Rob’ and Samaje,” Gruden said Thursday after the first practice of camp. ”It’s very, very important to let these guys play it out. They’ve all shown flashes of being good football players at the running back position.”No one flashes more potential than Guice, who plummeted in the draft from first-round prospect to Washington in the late second. The LSU product fumbled his first carry of camp but shoulders big expectations and has already made quite the impression on his new teammates.”He’s a stud. He can do it all,” left tackle Trent Williams said. ”He’s one of them guys that every team wants to have. He’s an old-school running back: hard to bring down, runs strong and is extremely fast (at) his size.”Guice should get every opportunity to show he deserves to be the No. 1 running back. He split first-team carries with Perine and Kelley on Thursday, though Gruden expects padded practices to provide a better indication of where the race stands.Kelley came from off the pace to win the starting job as an undrafted rookie during in 2016 and held it last year until knee and ankle injuries ended his season. But with Guice’s buzz and Perine’s pedigree from his time at Oklahoma, Kelley is again an underdog and is perfectly fine with that.”I’ve been there before,” Kelley said. ”I came in as an undrafted guy. It ain’t nothing new to me. It’s just about overcoming it, man. I’m not the first guy it happened to, I’m not going to be the last guy it happens to, so just keep going.”Only one thing is settled with the Redskins’ running back situation: Thompson is entrenched as a crucial run and pass option for an offense that is transitioning from Kirk Cousins to new quarterback Alex Smith. Thompson is coming off knee surgery and will be eased back in to the crowded group.As he deals with the frustration of wanting to be full-go, Thompson looks at the running back corps of Guice, Perine, Kelley, Kapri Bibbs and Byron Marshall and sees an abundance of depth.”It’s ridiculous right now,” Thompson said. ”All the guys bring something to the table. So I’m excited about it. We’ve got a few guys that are those bruiser running backs Montez Sweat Jersey , and then the other half of the guys are all good route runners and stuff. I’m excited about it. It’s definitely going to bring the best out of us.”Running backs coach Randy Jordan noticed that right away during offseason workouts after Washington drafted Guice. All of a sudden, Guice’s high-energy approach to every snap has forced that sense of urgency for the players looking to hold him off for carries once the season gets underway.”The biggest thing is there’s a lot of competition in this room,” Jordan said last month. ”So when you have that, everything else takes care of itself.”Guice said a rookie minicamp that getting accustomed to new terminology would be the biggest adjustment from the SEC to the NFL. Once he gets that down, he’ll level some of the playing field with Perine and Kelley, thought he doesn’t want to speculate about how big his role might be.”I can’t really predict how me and Chris and Samaje and Kelley and all of us are going to be used,” Guice said. ”However Jay or Randy want to use us, that’s how it’s going to go.”NOTES: LB Zach Brown strained his left quadriceps muscle and was held out of team drills for the remainder of practice. … TE Jordan Reed revealed he had two separate toe surgeries, one on each foot. Reed had a bone removed from each big toe after lingering soreness that has lasted since before training camp a year ago.— Washington closed the door on Trent Williams returning this season by putting him on the non-football injury list yesterday.But according to Williams, the door, the road leading up to it, and everything else was already ablaze well before then.Williams told Mike Jones of that he wants to play again, but knows it’s not likely to be in his current place of employment.“I feel like everything has run its course,” Williams said. “I mean, I do want to play football still and I’m not a free agent until after the 2020 season, so who knows. But the bridge has definitely been burned, and any efforts now, basically are, in my opinion Dwayne Haskins Redskins Jersey , pretty much just CYA.”Williams stayed away this offseason, amid concerns about his medical care for a tumor on his head. Since then, the team has requested a third-party investigation of the care he received, which only deepened the divide.“If I felt like they were genuine, I’d be all for it,” Williams said. “They’re not doing it to find out what went wrong. They’re doing it to cover their butts.“Mine isn’t the only situation they got wrong. There are a lot of situations they could have looked into. Why didn’t they do it before now? Why didn’t they do it in Colt [McCoy’s] case? [McCoy needed multiple surgeries to repair his broken leg] And they keep putting out these false reports. I just feel like regardless of what the findings of the investigation are, they’re going to try to find a way to paint me negatively and make themselves look better.”Williams also said he thought recent leaks and stories about him were planted by the organization, out of a desire to make him look greedy. He acknowledges there were talks about a new contract at one point, but that wasn’t the reason for his unhappiness.“I had a lot of anger about my situation,” Williams said. “I felt like they could have worked something out if they really wanted me. But the breaking point was how things played out with my health and how I felt like I was mistreated. I put this organization first for so long, but they never took it seriously, and I do stand for something, and I felt like it’s not just a stand for me, but for future players as well. Because let’s be honest, they’ve got a bad track record.”Williams is likely to be traded this offseason, but the team had chances to do that this year, making it look like a spite-driven decision.
