Chargers' Larry Rountree: Lackluster rookie season

Rountree finished his rookie campaign with 36 carries for 87 yards and a touchdown across 12 games.

Coming out of training camp, Rountree was billed as a bludgeoning short-yardage back, but the rookie sixth-round pick was hardly effective in that role despite Los Angeles' desperate need to develop a complement to lead option Austin Ekeler. Instead, Rountree found himself a healthy inactive by the midway point of the season, and eventually served purely as special-teams depth from Week 12 onward. It's hard to imagine Rountree emerges as a capable backup to Ekeler even after 2020 draft pick Joshua Kelley underwhelmed for the second straight season, but neither back will be a clear-cut No. 2 option if the team opts to re-sign Justin Jackson who will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
