Mafah earning RB2 reps in early camp, competing for backup role.

The second-year draft pick earned RB2 carries in both of the first two unpadded practices of training camp, a surprise from opening practice that continued on Thursday. Mafah is competing with fellow second-year player Jaydon Blue for the RB2 role behind Williams, and the source highlights Mafah hitting a home run off-tackle run untouched during Thursday's practice, suggesting early positive signs in the competition for the 30% of carries not going to the lead back.
