Drafted 4th round, 2025 out of Virginia Tech (via NC A&T), Tuten earned a 15-game rookie role behind Travis Etienne. The 7 total TDs on 93 touches put him at a 7.5% touch-to-TD rate — a remarkable threshold for any complementary back.
The carry workload was carefully managed (5.5 per game), but 7 of his 15 regular-season games were TD games — he found the end zone in 47% of his appearances. Jacksonville found their designated touchdown finisher immediately.
Week 11 vs LAC: 15 carries, 74 yards, 1 TD — Tuten's peak carry game, running alongside Etienne's 19.

Week 11 vs LAC was Tuten's busiest day: 15 carries, 74 yards, 1 TD. It wasn't a starter-injury situation — Etienne ran 19 times for 73 yards alongside him, making this an unusual dual-feature game. Tuten hadn't seen more than 9 carries in any other regular-season outing.
The playoff cameo punctuated the year: ★Week 19 vs BUF (postseason), 4 carries for 51 yards (12.75 YPC) — the highest single-game YPC of his rookie season. (★ = postseason, not included in regular-season totals)
3rd of 65 RBs in rushing TD rate (2025): 6.02% on 83 carries — only Tucker and Charbonnet ranked higher.
Rare2025 rushing TD rate leaders (50+ carries)
| RB | Carries | Rush TDs | TD Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sean Tucker | 86 | 7 | 8.14% |
| Zach Charbonnet | 184 | 12 | 6.52% |
| Bhayshul Tuten | 83 | 5 | 6.02% |

| Derrick Henry | 307 | 16 | 5.21% |
| TreVeyon Henderson | 180 | 9 | 5.00% |
Among the 65 RBs with 50+ carries in the 2025 regular season, Tuten's 6.02% rushing TD rate (5 TDs on 83 carries) ranked 3rd league-wide — behind only Tucker (8.14%) and Charbonnet (6.52%), both veteran complementary backs.
Just as notable: he scored in 7 different weeks (Wks 2, 3, 9, 11, 13, 15, 18), never going on a hot streak. That spread-out scoring pattern signals a consistent goal-line role, not a lucky cluster. His backfield partner Travis Etienne posted just a 2.69% rushing TD rate on 260 carries — the Jaguars clearly identified their short-yardage closer early.
Among 2025 rookie RBs with 50+ carries, Tuten's 6.02% rushing TD rate leads the class.

Among 2025 true rookies (first NFL season) with 50+ carries, Tuten's 6.02% rushing TD rate leads the class — despite owning the lowest carry volume in this group.
Ashton Jeanty (266 carries, 1.88% TD rate) and Quinshon Judkins (230 carries, 3.04%) were the class's primary workhorses. Tuten had a different mandate: finish drives. The result: 5 rushing TDs on 83 carries, a rate that beats every other rookie — and 62 of 65 RBs in the full league — with 50 or more carries.
Week 2 at CIN: 74 scrimmage yards and his 1st NFL TD — in just his 13th career touch.
MilestoneWeek 1 was a 3-carry, 11-yard warm-up. Week 2 at Cincinnati: 8 carries for 42 yards (5.25 YPC) + 2 catches for 32 yards + his first career TD on the second reception — touch number 13 overall.
74 scrimmage yards in his 2nd NFL game announced the package was real. Over the next 12 regular-season games he never topped 28 scrimmage yards in a single outing — until the Week 11 LAC game, which also totaled exactly 74 yards (15 carries, no receptions). Two identical 74-yard peaks bracketing a stretch of complementary work: that's the Tuten rookie arc.
