It’s a sad but true fact about the NFL preseason. We know the Philadelphia Eagles can’t take everybody into the regular season. There are only 53 available slots on the team’s active roster. There aren’t many who have thought about that more often than running backs Corey Clement and Donnel Pumphrey.
The latter was the Eagles’ 4th-round draft choice (the 132nd-overall selection). He’s also the NCAA Division I FBS’ all-time leader in rushing yards. The former wasn’t drafted by anyone, mostly due to the 2017 NFL Draft being littered with running backs and character concerns that have followed him.
