Running Backs

  • Jordan Howard
  • Miles Sanders
  • Wendell Smallwood
  • Darren Sproles
  • Corey Clement
  • Josh Adams

The Eagles have really embraced using a running back-by-committee approach in recent years. I think the additions of Howard and Sanders this offseason will change that approach. Howard and Sanders will be the featured backs with the rookie Sanders arguably being the most impressive back in the preseason so far. It is unlikely that all of Smallwood, Sproles, Clement, and Adams are on the initial roster as I think one or more of them will be traded before the season.

Player to watch: Donnel Pumphrey
