Travis Etienne has established himself as one of the premier running backs in the NFL this season.
His impressive 837 rushing yards place him among the league’s top 10 in that category, and his nine rushing touchdowns rank eighth in the NFL. However, the recent stretch has presented challenges for the Jacksonville Jaguars running back.
In the past nine games, he has only surpassed the 60-yard mark once, contributing to a decline in his yards per carry to a disappointing 3.7.
This slump is one of the contributing factors to the Jaguars’ recent struggles, as they currently face a three-game losing streak. Interestingly, it seems that Etienne’s mother has a specific target for her concerns.
Prior to the team’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Donnetta reached out to ‘X’ to address Santa Claus directly, asking for improved “O Line blocking” for her son. In the modern era, it appears that Santa can be reached via ‘X’ rather than the traditional method of sending letters through the mail to the North Pole.
The outcome of whether Santa fulfills Donnetta Etienne’s request remains to be seen as the Jaguars take on the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium later today.
While it’s not uncommon for players’ parents or significant others to express concerns, the impact of such statements on the team’s dynamics can be unpredictable.
