The Philadelphia Eagles need to find a new running back. It seems unlikely that Ryan Mathews will return to the Eagles in 2017 and Darren Sproles, who is set to retire following the 2017 season, is incapable of carrying a full workload. Wendell Smallwood quietly had himself a solid rookie season, but still needs work before becoming a legitimate No. 1 running back.
With so many questions surrounding the Eagles’ group of running backs, the team will more than likely have to bring in a reliable back via free agency or the 2017 NFL Draft.
