It’s hard to evaluate running backs. Some are bruisers, and some are shifty. One thing’s certain though. They’re still a necessary component in today’s game. There are many who don’t believe that. It’s true that the NFL is a passing league, but it can help your signal caller significantly if he has some backfield help. For the Philadelphia Eagles, this lesson was learned over and over throughout the 2017 season.
The Eagles rode LeGarrette Blount, Jay Ajayi and Corey Clement, and that helped them win their first Super Bowl in franchise history.
