🏈 Some Eagles fans are clamoring for Bijan Robinson and the top running back prospect in the NFLDraft is fueling them by saying he wants to play with Jalen Hurts. (He also says he's impressed by the custodian at the Eagles' facility.) flyeaglesfly
Robinson, 21, made just two pre-draft visits this offseason: One to Tampa and one to Philly. So it’s not too much of a surprise that he named Hurts.“It was great,” Robinson said. “With both teams that I was with just building relationships with the coaches, the support staff, the GM, even the janitor. The janitor was super cool too. It was an awesome visit.
One of Nick Sirianni core values is connecting and it seems like Robinson began to connect with Eagles staffers during that visit. The problem, of course, is that the Eagles generally don’t use premium resources on the running back position. We all know their history in the first round. They haven’t drafted a running back in the first round since Keith Byars in 1986. And just this offseason they let Miles Sanders walk when he signed a a four-year, $25 million deal with the Panthers.
“I think the most important thing when you're picking in the first round, certainly when you're picking 10, is that you get a unique player,” Roseman said. “I think that there are so few unique players in any draft that if you start picking by position and not based on the quality of the talent, then you really get a chance -- so if you pick by position and you pick a player who's not any good, then it's not a good pick anyway.
