We are days removed from the 2017 NFL Draft and many Philadelphia Eagles fans wonder what to make of the Eagles’ current core of running backs. The Eagles’ crowded backfield consists of Ryan Mathews, Darren Sproles, Wendell Smallwood, Donnel Pumphrey and Byron Marshall. Terrell Watson is currently listed on the practice squad. The Eagles also signed undrafted free agent Corey Clement as well.
Though there are a plethora of running backs on the roster, one would argue that none of them are capable of being the consistent, every-down back that can take on a 20-25 carry workload.
