4. Running Back
If the Eagles re-sign Jordan Howard, then great, this unit becomes even more talented and dynamic. Miles Sanders is the man in the Eagles backfield and should provide Carson Wentz will security in the backfield for years to come. The second-round pick emerged late in the season finished first among rookies in scrimmage yards (1,327) and all-purpose yards (1,641). Boston Scott’s emergence cemented Howard leaving the Eagles, as the Sproles mini-me helped carry the Eagles into the playoff with tough running and great effort in the screen game.
Elijah Holyfield spent the season on Carolina’s practice squad and landed with the Eagles right before the playoffs. Doug Pederson and company like Holyfield coming out of the draft and he’ll have a chance to compete for Howard’s roster spot.
Corey Clement is a restricted free agent and could still earn a spot if the Eagles offer a tender.
