When Doug Pederson was in Kansas City, the Chiefs offense essentially ran through Jamaal Charles, who in many ways is the prototypical back for the current version of the Andy Reid derivative of the West Coast Offense. Now that Charles has been released by the Chiefs after nine seasons with the team, it will be interesting to see how strongly Pederson considers reuniting with his old back, particularly given the Eagles’ questionable depth at the position.
Asked about Charles at the NFL combine on Wednesday, Pederson did not squash the idea of bringing the 30-year-old into the fold, though he hardly could have been expected to.
