When thinking about what positions the Philadelphia Eagles need to improve in 2017, the two positions almost everyone brings up are wide receiver and cornerback.
Both needs are huge for the Eagles, but the lack of a star running back who can consistently put up 20+ carries and 100-yard games in 2016 hurt the Eagles’ playoff hopes just as badly as the previously mentioned weak points.
Although originally it wasn’t Doug Pederson‘s intention to bring in a backfield by committee, the Eagles consistently cycled through two to three different runners every game behind Carson Wentz.
