Baltimore Ravens sixth-year running back Gus Edwards is expected to have a big 2023 season. He is expected to be featured in the Ravens' offense on quite a few occasions.
After starting running back J.K. Dobbins went down in Week 1 with a season-ending Achilles injury, Edwards became the lead back in an injury-fested Ravens backfield.
Through the first three games of the 2023 season, Edwards has rushed for 145 yards on 29 attempts and scored a touchdown.
In his career, Edwards has rushed for 2,730 yards on 530 carries while scoring 14 touchdowns. His 5.2 yards per carry is one of the highest in NFL history.
