Stanford. Christian McCaffrey. 22. player. 54. . RB

The Philadelphia Eagles are working on figuring out their offensive identity. As long as Carson Wentz can be a serviceable quarterback I imagine that he’ll start in 2017. With that in mind, the Eagles should consider adding some more weapons for Wentz to work with.

Darren Sproles is nearing the end of his NFL career, but the Eagles could get a new versatile running back in Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey. He’s a complete running back with the versatility to run the ball, play as a slot receiver or even return kicks and punts.

McCaffrey doesn’t get a lot of credit as an NFL prospect, but if someone like Philadelphia doesn’t pick him up, you know that Bill Belichick will scoop him up at the end of the first round.
