Eagles would be wise to monitor these sub-radar, late-round RB prospects

The Eagles have made some changes to their offensive backfield, but there’s still work to be done.

The Philadelphia Eagles have boasted one of the best-rushing offenses in the entire NFL since Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts took over as the team’s head coach and full-time starting quarterback. The Birds had a top-five rushing attack in 2021 and again in ’22 while collecting over 5,200 rushing yards as a team over that span.

The Eagles also boast one of the best offensive lines in NFL history. That trend figures to continue as Jason Kelce announced he will return for one more season on Monday. He’s a lock to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame whenever he hangs up his cleats. The rest of the Eagles’ offensive line features some of the best players in the NFL at their respective positions.

Despite all of this, Philly still needs the backfield benefit from its offensive line. Miles Sanders is gone, and in 2022, he racked up 11 touchdowns and more than 1,300 scrimmage yards.

The Eagles agreed to terms on a deal that landed former Seattle Seahawks first-round pick Rashaad Penny on Tuesday. It appears the Eagles are in favor of moving forward with Kenneth Gainwell and Penny as a duo of power and speed with Boston Scott as another weapon.

Eagles’ vice president/general manager signed Scott to a one-year deal worth $2 million on Tuesday. Though underrated, Boston has earned his reputation as one of the best pound-for-pound players in the NFL.

We have already discussed possible early-round Eagles running back targets. Here are a few talented but under-the-radar they could add on Day 3 of the NFL Draft.
