3 RB prospects Philadelphia Eagles need to consider

Robinson would give the Philadelphia Eagles a nice blend of speed and power.

Alabama Crimson Tide running back Brian Robinson Jr. was overshadowed in Tuscaloosa, but that was because he was surrounded by other playmakers. Don’t be fooled though. This is a young man that would help the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense right away.

This is a young man that’s built to destroy defensive opponents. Robinson is six-foot-one and 230 pounds of a pure athletic freakiness.

While star runner Najee Harris has gotten all the attention, the Bama offense rolls right along when Robinson totes the rock. He has an amazing lateral and the sneaky footwork you wouldn’t expect from a running back this size.

Robinson was able to run through, around, and away from defenders. This Crimson Tide product can physically set the tone for any offense and never seems to wear down. He’s a great receiver and a three-down back that would give the Philadelphia Eagles another potential star on offense.

Adding Brian Robinson Jr. to a backfield led by Sanders would give the Philadelphia Eagles a true ‘thunder and lightning’ duo. While Robinson isn’t expected to hear his name called early on, if he’s sitting there late on Day 2 or sometime during Day 3, the Eagles brass needs to swoop in (pun intended).
