Corey Clement, one year after his meteoric rise, is ready to grow his role with Eagles

Corey Clement played in a fairly big football game a few months ago that drew 103.4 million television viewers and an in-house crowd of more than 67,000.

But the nerves he felt that day at U.S. Bank Stadium were nothing compared to the ones he felt a couple of weeks ago when the poised 23-year-old Eagles running back stood in front of a few hundred people in his hometown of Glassboro, N.J., and delivered the commencement address at Rowan University.

“Before I did it, I was really nervous,’’ Clement said Tuesday after the Eagles completed their first OTA of the spring.
