His ability to run along with his size to take the pounding make him a great fit. Sam Bradford’s skill-set isn’t one that helps Kelly’s offense run smoothly. RB Demarco Murray can’t get going because Sam Bradford isn’t a threat to run.
But once Lynch makes a few big runs, the defense have to account for him. Then Murray gets rolling and from there, the Eagles throw the ball off of the running game. An effective Spread Option Offense starts with quarterback that can run and throw.

Paxton Lynch
QB, Memphis
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly has been to the playoffs twice in his first two years on the job. And after things didn’t start out well, he just might get there again this year. So we should look forward to Kelly being there in 2016.
He has full control over personnel and badly wants a big-time Spread Offense quarterback. He can’t have Marcus Mariota, who’s with the Titans. So 6’7″, 240-pound Paxton Lynch of Memphis will be Kelly’s choice here at No. 14 overall.
