4 Running Backs the Eagles have targeted for the 2018 NFL Draft

Bo Scarbrough, Alabama

Around this time last year, Bo Scarbrough was expected to dominate the NCAA in the upcoming season. He was supposed to be one of the more intriguing backs in this loaded up draft, and even had some first-round buzz around his name. But after his teammate Damien Harris took more than half of the teams carries in 2017, Scarbrough didn’t exactly prove to NFL scouts that he was a day one prospect for draft day.

Now Scarbrough is looking to be waiting for the second or third day to be selected to an NFL team as he is projected to stick around until the fourth or fifth round. This is excellent news for the Eagles as they may be looking to find a LeGarrette Blount replica.

Scarbrough stands with a 6’1″, 232-pound frame. Just as you can imagine, he comes into the NFL as a bruiser-type runner who can go the extra inch despite getting meant with strong physical contact by defenders. Considering that the Eagles pretty much knew that Blount was a goner this year, Scarbrough became one of the few running backs to get a formal interview with the Eagles at the combine.
