NFL Draft Results: Eagles select Kenneth Gainwell at pick No. 150

With the 150th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select ... Kenneth Gainwell, running back, Memphis!

At the time of this pick, former Eagles scout Daniel Jeremiah said Gainwell was the last player remaining on his top 100 big board.

Gainwell is an exciting addition. The 22-year-old running back comes from a Memphis program that’s recently produced notable NFL running backs such as Antonio Gibson, Darrell Henderson, and Tony Pollard.

Gainwell was very productive as both a runner and a receiver in 2019 before opting out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19.
