Jones won't necessarily be Washington's workhorse back in 2016, according to Rich Tandler of CSN Mid-Atlantic.

Analysis:

With Alfred Morris set to become an unrestricted free agent, there have been rumbling that Jones might step right in as a three-down workhorse next season. However, there's still some chance Washington could retain Morris, and Chris Thompson (shoulder) has proven to be a perfectly capable passing-down back. Furthermore, the team may look into external options in the draft and/or free agency. Jones had a few nice moments during his rookie season, but his ball security and elusiveness left a lot to be desired, and he doesn't run with the power that's expected of a 230-pound running back. On a more positive note, he does have phenomenal speed for his size, with solid pass-catching skills to boot. There's a lot to work on but also a lot to like.
