3 RB prospects Philadelphia Eagles need to consider

Gainwell would add real speed to the Philadelphia Eagles offense.

Memphis Tigers running back Kenny Gainwell is an underrated talent that would add another layer of speed to the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense. He’s been blessed with a lateral quickness that can’t be matched by anyone else in this draft as well as the versatility offensive coordinators covet.

A big play waiting to happen, the five-foot-eleven, 200-pound Gainwell has the ability to go the distance in both the running and passing game. He has soft hands, and he runs routes like a wideout. He’d also represent another mismatch to opposing defenses. The Memphis product has the ability to be a true gamechanger at the next level.

Imagining Kenny Gainwell and Miles Sanders on the field at the same time has fans salivating at the potential packages that can be drawn up. Defenses would struggle to keep up with an Eagles offense featuring two dynamic runners like Sanders and Gainwell.

If the Eagles have the opportunity to land Gainwell somewhere in the middle of this draft, they need to pull the trigger.
