\n

The running back position<\/u><\/a> in the NFL is one that has increasingly lost value over the last several years as teams are finding worth in younger, less expensive running backs instead of spending big money on well-known free agents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Free agent Melvin Gordon<\/u><\/a> is one of those running backs looking for a home next season, and the eight-year veteran knows how difficult it is to play his position in today\u2019s NFL.<\/p>\n

“I still want to play. I got some tread on the tires,” Gordon said this week on “The Jim Rome Show.”<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s just so tough for running backs right now, man,” he continued. “You have a lot of running backs<\/u><\/a> that\u2019s out there. We just don\u2019t get no love. It\u2019s literally the worst position to play in the NFL right now. It literally sucks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m just staying ready because I know what I can do. I know once I get in camp, or I get in any camp, I can turn some heads.”<\/p>\n

Gordon, who was drafted by the then-San Diego Chargers in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft, appeared in 10 games for the Denver Broncos in 2022 before winding up on the Kansas City Chiefs’<\/u><\/a> practice squad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He turned 30 years old in April and admitted that it\u2019s been difficult for him to train not knowing whether a team will come calling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’m just staying ready. It’s hard, though,” Gordon said. “It’s hard training knowing that you’re not gonna be on a team. It’s tough mentally. But I talked to some players that went through it, and I’m just taking their advice, being a sponge. And that kind of helps you get through it.”<\/p>\n

There are multiple running backs still looking for a team as July approaches, including Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cook, who rushed for 1,173 yards and eight touchdowns last season, was released by the Minnesota Vikings<\/u><\/a> in June after six seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Minnesota saved $9 million in cap space by making the move after June 1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
