Top Quotes: RB coach Randy Jordan thrilled with talent and depth in backfield

While many of the position coaches who will have a say on what the Washington Football Team looks like in 2020 are new to most fans, running backs coach Randy Jordan is one of the few holdovers from the previous staff. When Ron Rivera took over as the head coach, he chose to keep Jordan around, hoping that his familiarity with the current roster in Washington would help push that position to new heights.

On Friday afternoon, Jordan sat down with media members in Washington to discuss this abnormal offseason, as well as what to expect going forward. Here are some of his top quotes.
