Philadelphia Eagles: 10 Notes from the Jay Ajayi trade

5. Ajayi, in his second season, became the fourth player in NFL history to rush over 200 yards in three games in a single season.

That answers that previous question doesn’t it?

6. He’s a two-time first-team All-Mountain West Conference selection.

Okay, so the Mountain West Conference doesn’t house the same level of talent as the SEC or Big Ten. Unfortunately for its’ players and coaches, everything they do that’s successful will be met with a bit of skepticism. Take Ajayi for instance. Despite rushing for 3,796 and 50 touchdowns in three seasons and earning third-team All-American honors by the Associated Press, Ajayi got no love during draft time.

He’s proven, once again, that scouting isn’t an exact science.

7. There are some ball-security issues.

Look it up for yourselves. Four fumbles in 15 games in 2016 and another in the first seven games of 2017 shows there’s some issues. That’s definitely a concern and something running backs coach Duce Staley, no doubt, has already taken note of.
