He is fighting for the #2, he has impressed the staff for the first part of camp and is ahead of Polk and right there with Dion Lewis. Ironically, one of his strengths they have noticed is his pass blocking
If he ends up usurping Dion Lewis, all this crap about him being overrated is going to look pretty ridiculous.
But it's hard to know how to rate a guy that dropped out of two different colleges and played against pretty weak competition in high school. I don't know that overrated is fair, but if he can't make it through a college season without getting his body or feelings hurt I'm not sure how the NFL will work out for him.
That's a fair concern, but there's no doubting the value that the Eagles got with that pick. His measurables have never been a question...his size, speed, and athleticism make him a 1st or 2nd round talent. And, while a little bruised in limited action as a freshman, they basically landed an All-American with no mileage, and little to no wear and tear on him in the 7th freaking round. Sure, he has some issues between the ears...he's no guarantee...but he's as good a value as I've ever seen in the 7th.
