Jordan Howard is eager to show off improvements after working with Staley
Jordan Howard might be a four-year veteran, but he still has a lot to learn from Philadelphia Eagles’ running backs coach, Duce Staley.
The Philadelphia Eagles did a lot to improve their weakest unit over the course of the 2019 offseason. Last year, the Birds offense was visibly struggling in comparison to their 2017 season. While the uncertainty of Carson Wentz had a lot to do with that, it also didn’t help that the backfield was wildly inconsistent. With Jay Ajayi injured, the Eagles were relying on a visible backup in Wendell Smallwood, and two young and undrafted prospects in Josh Adams and Corey Clement. While those guys had some flashes at times, overall the unit was a liability.
