After changing positions to wide receiver back in March, the Cardinals Andre Ellington has been moved back to running back.
After a promising rookie year where he earned a grade of 81.1, Ellington has now gone three straight seasons with grades under 65.
As teammate David Johnson has emerged, Ellington’s snap total has decreased from over 400 in both 2013 and 2014 to just 150 last season, accounting for just 13% of the Cardinals’ offensive snaps in 2016.
In Ellington’s first two seasons, he saw a total of 119 targets. The last two seasons, Ellington has seen a total of only 35.
