Write this down, and put it somewhere that you look every day. All you’re going to hear from now until the Philadelphia Eagles‘ final 53-man roster is announced is talk about who’s going to make the team and who isn’t. Take Wendell Smallwood for instance.
In some ways, it feels like he’s been around forever, but he hasn’t been. The former fifth-round draft selection went 153rd overall but saw his rookie season cut short by injury on December 12th of 2016. His sophomore season saw him share totes with a crowded Eagles backfield, and it appeared as though, for whatever reason, that he just didn’t have the full confidence of his coaches.
