Travis Etienne has been balling out this season and making defenders look silly at the same time.
According to Pro Football Focus, the former Clemson and current Jacksonville Jaguars running back leads the league in missed tackles forced on runs with a whopping 29.
Etienne is also tops in the NFL in touchdown runs of 20-plus yards (three), while he ranks second in rushing yards after contact with 352, per PFF.
A first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Etienne missed the 2021 season with a Lisfranc injury before coming back to rush for more than 1,000 yards in 2022.
The speedy, shifty and explosive Clemson product is on pace for another outstanding season this year with 451 rushing yards, five rushing touchdowns, 21 receptions and 172 receiving yards through six games for the Jags.
