Skattebo is joining a backfield that's returning both Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary. Tracy broke out as a fifth-round rookie last year, leading the team with 839 rushing yards and five scores on 192 carries, while Singletary picked up 437 yards and four touchdowns on his 113 totes.

Vardell was known as “Touchdown Tommy” in college, and was solid during his first two seasons with Cleveland, logging 1,013 yards on 270 carries and three touchdowns. His final two seasons, however, were limited by injuries and resulted in 19 carries through 10 games.
