Eagles' Donnel Pumphrey: Picked by Eagles

The Eagles selected Pumphrey in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 132nd overall.

Pumphrey was one of the best running backs in college football history at San Diego State, totaling 6,405 yards (6.0 YPC) and 62 touchdowns in 54 games while adding 99 receptions for 1,039 yards and five touchdowns. The skill set is certainly present with Pumphrey, but at 5-foot-8, 176 pounds, he's prohibitively small for an NFL running back. Past comparable players like Dexter McCluster and Garret Wolfe were similarly dominant in their college careers, but they simply weren't athletic enough relative to their size to become starters. The best-case scenario for a player like Pumphrey would be a Darren Sproles-like career, but it should be noted that Sproles had better workout metrics than Pumphrey at 11 pounds heavier. As an off-the-bench option, though, Pumphrey should be tactically useful for the Eagles, even if he never turns into a fantasy factor.
