Eastern Washington’s north-south back with proven special-teams juice
A.J. Jimmerson is a compact, physical running back whose value has often come from versatility and toughness rather than flashy volume. At Michigan State, his 2009 season included 7 kick returns for 163 yards, a 23.3-yard average, showing he can add hidden-yardage value in the kicking game; earlier in his career he also flashed as a rotational runner and returner. The big question for a fit at Eastern Washington is whether his style translates into reliable downhill production and special-teams impact, especially if your team wants a gritty, low-drama back who can earn snaps the hard way.
