The Eagles could use a North/South power back. While this young man is 5'11" he is also 230 lbs. and runs hard. A RB that attacks the LOS with power is a missing element from this offense. Assuming Audric declares for the draft, I'd like to see this kid get real consideration between rounds 2-4. His in game speed looks good not great, but he runs with determination and breaks arm tackles with ease. I think he'd complement a shifty guy like Swift very well. I believe he can be everything they hoped Penny would be, and maybe more. He's not used as a receiver out of the backfield much but I suspect he could develop some there. I think he's worth a good look.

yep.

Dude is exactly what the Eagles need, I can't believe his ranking according to some of the sites.

Here's the thing, yes, we need help on defense behind the front 4, but this guy would do more for the defense than any other player, he'll keep their sorry arses on the sidelines, so yeah, using a 1st on him wouldn't be out of the question if I were running the draft. 

Had some fumble issues early in 2022. Looks like he cleaned it up in 2023. Benson, Allen, Estime, Jaylen Wright, Lloyd. Need one of these guys.

Yeah, the kid got benched after fumbling IIRC and was much better after that. I'm looking forward to his athletic tests.

yeah thats the first day of workouts.

I was just making a joke because I dont think Estime has much athleticism.

It's true he's not super athletic and that's why I'm interested in how he tests. I hope he does well even if he can't do great.

Well that 4.72 40 yard dash is just so slow. He looked faster in games. He's still strong and keeps his feet nicely, and he tested well in the burst tests like the broad jump and vertical jump. It's a weird combination of test results, but his demonstrated lack of speed will be a liability at the next level. Too bad for the kid, I liked his game but I think he just probably ran himself into  being a UDFA.

4.58 in the 40 yard dash at his pro day matches the film a lot better than the combine numbers. If tape over testing still holds true, as it should, then a late round pick/priority UDFA signing as a depth player still makes sense. He's been a productive RB.
