BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Jay Ajayi arrived in Philadelphia on Halloween night with swirling emotions. Miami had unceremoniously traded Ajayi after a Pro Bowl season, he was joining a 7-1 team that would not feature him as the unquestioned lead running back, and there was curiosity about how such a notable trade would affect the team dynamics.
Ajayi’s addition didn’t disrupt the locker room. It didn’t hurt the offense. It made the Eagles better.
He gave the Eagles the explosive running back they needed, and Ajayi will likely be a key part of the game plan in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots.
