Running back Wendell Smallwood was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the fifth round of this year’s draft. With other highly touted running back prospects such as Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams still on the board, the selection of Smallwood came as a bit of a surprise.
But could Smallwood eventually become the Eagles’ top running back? The presence of Ryan Mathews makes that a little difficult for a rookie drafted in the fifth round, but he certainly has the potential to become that down the road.
Smallwood saw some good production during his collegiate career at West Virginia.
