Last season, the Philadelphia Eagles couldn’t figure out their backfield situation. Although Jay Ajayi was viewed as the teams’ number one back when the season started, he wouldn’t even last half the season before going down with multiple injuries. His season was over before we knew it. Eventually, the Eagles had to resort to Josh Adams, an undrafted rookie free agent.
While Adams did a nice job, leading the team in yards, the Eagles made it quite clear that he wasn’t the answer to their backfield struggles. Hence the reason why he barley snagged any carries by the time Darren Sproles returned and the postseason rolled around.
