The Philadelphia Eagles haven’t had what you would call a ‘franchise rusher’ since the days of LeSean McCoy. Back in 2009, Andy Reid and company decided to draft high on the position, snagging a Pennsylvania native from the Pittsburgh Panthers.
McCoy played youth ball in Pennsylvania. He played High School ball in Pennsylvania. And college ball? You guessed it! Pennsylvania. Then, he went and got drafted to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Well, ten years later, the Eagles end up with the same scenario. Their second-round pick just so happened to have played youth, High School, college, and now professional football in Pennsylvania.
