The biggest contributing factor to the Philadelphia Eagles‘ run to Super Bowl LII in 2017 was team depth. That’s long been established. One of the things we’ve learned most recently has been how Philly saw an importance in investing in the backup quarterback position and the running game, two key pieces to the championship puzzle in 2017.
Just take the running backs. The Eagles added LeGarrette Blount in free agency, Donnel Pumphrey in the draft and Corey Clement as an undrafted free agent. That was after they had already added Wendell Smallwood via the draft a year prior.
