Philadelphia Eagles have recent history of finding undrafted talent
Corey Clement
Clement played four years at Wisconsin, in which he rushed for 3,092 yards and 36 touchdowns. Without question, Clement’s best year with the Badgers came as a senior where he was just coming off sports hernia surgery from the year before.

That season in 2016, Clement finished with 1,375 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns to end his college career on one of the highest notes possible.
Clement also earned First Team All-Big Ten (coaches), and Second Team All-Big Ten (media) honors for his impressive senior year to show what kind of NFL potential he could bring to the table.
When it came time for the 2017 NFL Draft, Clement was projected to get selected by a team on Day 3, which unfortunately didn’t happen after failing to get the call, although things would clearly work out for the best after the Eagles decided to sign him as an undrafted rookie.
In his rookie season, Clement finished with 321 rushing yards and four touchdowns.
But most importantly, the Glassboro, New Jersey native’s biggest moment of the season came in Super Bowl LII when he helped the Eagles defeat the New England Patriots 41-33.
After watching Clement finish the contest with four receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown, it made Philadelphia feel even more thankful over their decision to bring Clement on board when they did.
