Philadelphia Eagless: A Case Study

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, when asked about Blount's job security Pederson said "The guy's a beast of a runner." He also added that he expects Blount to be "a big part of the Eagles' offense."

Despite being a perianal playoff contender, the team has a need at the wide receiver position. New England has lacked a legitimate deep threat since losing Randy Moss during the 2010 season. Imagine inserting Thomas into an offense that already has Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman. Thomas would most almost always be matched up against single coverage. With his speed, size, and acceleration Thomas would thrive in this situation. Playing in New England would not only benefit him, but it would also provide the organization with a number one receiver for the next decade. As I mentioned earlier since losing Moss, the teams go-to, deep threat receiver has looked like a revolving door. The team has often brought in a new face every season to take on this role. Thomas would bring the team stability at this

In his Junior year, 2012, he was capable of being named the St. Louis Post-Dispatch offensive player of the year after rushing for an impressive 1,802 yards and thirty four touchdowns and receiving twenty passes for 401 yards and scoring six times. While he was a Senior, 2013, he had 3,061 all-purpose yards and fifty total touchdowns, in those fifty touchdowns, he managed to get, 2,155 rushing yards and forty rushing touchdowns. He led the football team to three straight title games, but sadly could not manage to lead his team to victory in any of the games.

The Carolina Panthers found themselves a star in Kelvin Benjamin drafting him 28th overall in 2014 draft. We took him 28th overall I think he has already become a steal for the Panthers and Dave Gettleman who is a great evaluator of talent. He took the NFL by storm becoming quarterback Cam Newton's favorite target right away and for good reason; setting Panther rookie records for receptions receiving yards and touchdowns with 79 catches 1008 yards and nine touchdowns.

he started playing football when he was a freshman in college but he was not a starter but he got enough time in to earn varsity letter . His high point of the season was in the Orange Bowl where in quarterback relief he completed eight of 12 passes for 93 yards and a touchdown.

He racked up collegiate sack records during his 4 years in campus. He was drafted by the New York Giants during the second round pick in the NFL Draft of 1993. He initially played only 9 games due to injuries. He even missed the 2 playoff games. He had a breakout year in 1997.

Simeon James Rice; for nearly ten years the name drove fear into opposing defenders with the same force that Rice drove Quarter Backs into the ground. The 1996 3rd overall pick by Arizona racked up an impressive career and a plethora of awards and accolades in a career a decade long, most of that spent with our beloved Buccaneers.

The Philadelphia Eagles are football team with tons of history, and great information. First, the were first founded in 1924 as the “Frankford Yellowjackets.” Bert Bell is the founder of the Frankford Yellowjackets he invested his own money into this team. After seven years of the team competing in AFL football the team went bankrupt in 1931. The city of Philadelphia was loving the football thing, and they demanded a team. A group led by Bert Bell founded the Philadelphia Eagles. They were one of the first teams in the NFL, and the commissioner of the NFL was Bert Bell. Going through many difficult season the Eagles won their first NFL championship in 1960, led by quarterback Norm Van Brocklin. After that the Eagles had bad times in the

They brought in an entirely new coaching staff, and they allocated more than $30 million for a free-agent receiver in Robert Woods. Austin was given a four-year, $42 million extension weeks before the start of the 2016 season. But there is only $5 million in dead money tied to his contract after this year, which means they can easily part ways with Austin if he doesn’t fit McVay’s scheme.Austin is the second-highest paid player on the roster for the 2017 season and is a lofty $14.9 million cap hit. However, his cap number drops to just $8 million after this year. That’s the same amount Robert Woods will make in 2018.For comparison, the Rams will certainly not waive their wideout this season. It would cost $19.9 million to cut him in 2017.

Tomlinson was now a horned frog. Before Ladanian got there they only appeared in one bowl game in the previous 12 seasons and only 2 in the last 32 seasons. They got dropped to a minor conference called the western athletic conference (WAC). During his freshman and sophomore year he was second string behind Basil Mitchell. In his sophomore year he did help the frogs to their first bowl win in 41years. They were against the USC Trojans in the Sun Bowl. In 1999 his junior year he broke an NCAA FBS record for the most rushing yards in just a single game with 406 total rushing yards. The record stayed the same until just 2 years ago in 2014 where Melvin Gordon for the Wisconsin Baggers with 408 yards in a single game. Which it was broken just a week later by Oklahoma’s Samaje Perine rushing for 427 yards. Tomlinson finished his junior year rushing for 1.850 yards and adding on 18 touchdowns of his own. Tomlinson’s senior year came in 2000 where he led the NCAA for the second time rushing for over 2000 yards (2,158) and adding 22 touchdown’s to himself. Tomlinson was recognized as a first-team all American. He also won the Doak Walker Award, Mobile Alabama bowl most valuable player (MVP), Got the Jim Brown Trophy, Senior bowl MVP, was a two time All-WAC First team, two time WAC offensive player of the year, and added on top of all that was a finalist in the 2000 Heisman Trophy, but fell short getting voted fourth. After having

He played his college ball at Michigan State University where he was consider a solid if not great wide-receiver and kick return man. In fact, it was his kick returning abilities that caught the eye of several scouts around the NFL. When his career with the Spartans was completed, he entered the 2012 NFL draft.

Once drafted, Hernandez quickly proved his merit as a professional football player. He had 45 catches in his rookie year, which was a team record for tight ends, helping the Patriots secure the AFC Championship. In his second year, along with Rob Gronkowski, he led the Patriot offense with 24 touchdowns and 2,237 receiving yards, helping secure his team’s position in Super Bowl XLVI. He was injured in his third year, but was still positioned to become a team leader, which was recognized by the Patriots with his sizable signing bonus (A&E, 2015).

When he went to the NFL the Cardinals drafted him to begin with after his rookie contract was about up the Rams offered him a big contract but he turned it down because the Cardinals were the only team that believed in him.

“He’s a straight out football player,” wide receiver David Sills said. “You saw that last week in the Virginia Tech game, him making plays with his feet, doing other things. He’s much more than just a quarterback. He’s just a ball player. That’s what he is.”

The Big 12 rushing leader last season, Smallwood's strong test numbers don't quite translate to the field, but he's a well-rounded back with a solid pass pro and receiving skills. Doug Pederson will find a way to get him in the rotation often next season. --Mark Dulgerian
