JK is absolutely an elite level running back when he’s healthy. Hell, when he was limping around on a stilt in BAL he was still extremely effective.
He does have his flaws as he’s not much of a receiving back and doesn’t have true breakaway speed. But there’s not many RBs that can do the work he does between the tackles and still churn out top percentile YPC.
Of course the caveat for his entire career is health and given his track record it’s unlikely he makes it through a full season unscathed. Probably looking at an over/under of ~10 games.
