Maurice Jones-Drew On Starting Week 1: 'It's Not My Call'

Last week, Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Mike Mularkey told the media that running back Rashad Jennings would be the starting running back against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 of the regular season. As it stands right now, that's still the case despite the return of Maurice Jones-Drew.

"It’s not my call," Jones-Drew said at his press conference on Sunday when he was asked if he expected to start against the Vikings. "To me, once again, Rashad Jennings has done a lot of work and he’s done a lot of great things. It’s up to Coach Mularkey and it’s on his plate."

Undoubtedly Jones-Drew wants to be the starter and the bell cow, but thankfully doesn't seem to be making a big stink about it as he acclimates himself back into the offense.

"My goal is to come in and learn the offense and do whatever I can to help the offense to help this team win," Jones-Drew said. "It’s never been a personal issue."
