    The Jacksonville Jaguars drafted running back T.J. Yeldon to be the workhorse tailback they'd been missing.

    The songs from OTAs and minicamp have praised the rookie's ability both in the run and passing game. However, Yeldon told Around The NFL on Tuesday he'd currently place himself at the bottom of the running back depth chart.

    "I got myself as last, and I'm still trying to work my way up to the top," Yeldon said at the Rookie Symposium. "I'm just out there to compete and work my way up to the top, see what I can do."

    It might not be a steep hill for Yeldon to climb during next month's training camp. His competition is set to be Toby Gerhart (coming off a disappointing season), Denard Robinson (a rotational scat back) and Bernard Pierce (also coming off a poor season).
