Procus Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 https://theeagleswire.usatoday.com/2020/04/26/eagles-miles-sanders-adrian-killins-compliment/ Quote Eagles may have found perfect complement to Miles Sanders in UDFA RB Adrian Killins Glenn Erby 14 hours ago The Philadelphia Eagles ignored addressing the running back position during free agency and the entirety of the NFL draft, but Howie Roseman may have had a method to his madness. After bypassing running backs, Roseman signed two undrafted free agents at the position. One player, Michael Warren, is a thumper who’ll definitely have an opportunity to put his stamp on the roster. The guy that could turn his post-draft signing into a bonafide roster spot is Adrian Killins. Justin Bradley@JustinJBradley #Eagles just signed RB Adrian Killins from UCF, and yes he’s FAST. 1,279 7:25 PM - Apr 25, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 300 people are talking about this The 5-foot-7, 162-pound running back is fast and productive while specializing in finding the endzone. He’ll go down in UCF history after finishing his career with 2,459 rushing yards and 25 rushing touchdowns career. His 6.1 yards per carry average ranks third in school history. Killins wasn’t invited to the NFL Combine, but if he had, he would have clocked one of the fastest times. Thomas R. Petersen @thomasrp93 Of course Eagles sign Adrian Killins Super fast, clocked a 4.39 forty, although he wasn't invited to the combine. #SpeedSpeedSpeed #Eagles 419 7:43 PM - Apr 25, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 87 people are talking about this In 2019 with UCF, Killins rushed 87 times for 629 yards and seven touchdowns, while adding eight catches for 120 yards and another score. Killins and Warren should both make the Eagles 53-man roster while ensuring that Miles Sanders doesn’t get ran into the ground next season.

birdman#12 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 They had 2 really good compliments to Sanders, and they let one of them leave in free agency. Howard provided the power and hard nosed running. Scott is that elusive, quick, sproles-type. Howard is gone and they need to fill that role with somebody. Killian may be a 4th back but he's going to have a huge climb to even get reps with Sanders and Scott ahead of him. I don't know who can fill Howard's role....whether it's Holyfield or an UDFA or a free agent signing.....I know I wish they would have kept Howard....I really liked how he played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Also the article suggests the perfect complement to Sanders. Actually he's not the perfect complement. The perfect complement is a more physical hard yards back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he's nothing like Pumphrey. He will actually run up the middle he does not fumble and he is a pretty good receiver out of the backfield. He said unlike Pumphrey he's actually got speed agility and can make people miss. Ray did he did have good things to say about him he did however think Warren would have a better chance at making this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he didn't have the size but he had the skills to make guys miss. 17 minutes ago, DeathByEagle said: Ray Diddy broken down the other day. He said he's nothing like Pumphrey.

Because against the teams he played he looked like he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoconoDon Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, Killins likely won't make it, too small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madriver Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I like Warren but Killins is a bust. Pumphrey 2.0. What's with this team's love affair with tiny guys not cut out for the NFL? We got lucky with Sproles, a generational player, and they think guys like that are falling off of trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of guys dont get drafted for whatever reason and end up having a career. I imagine he went undrafted not just because hes a circus midget but also because he wasnt invited to the combine so lots of teams didnt get a chance to brush up on him. I have no idea if he makes the team or will be any good but worth kicking the tires on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, he didn't cost anything. But we shouldn't really expect a lot either. Fast or not, he's tiny. He's not Sproles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The talent is there, the speed and agility is there and ultimately he's cost us very little to bring him in and see what he's got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobokd1 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I really like Warren and Killins. Warren, in terms of skill set reminds me of the Bus, his feet and vision for a big guy is very good. Killins is a faster Sproles in terms of his skillset and height. I don't understand why for a RB height is important. I agree his weight might need to be increased by 5-10 lbs, but NFL teams can bulk you up in 2 years. I like Boston Scott too, he is a monster. Sanders is a stud and RB1, Holyfield might show us something. Our biggest asset to making our rbs look good is our Oline coach and Rbs coach Stoutland and Duce. I feel confident that our RBs this year, wont be in the Pump category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 17 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Warren..... ok. The other one sounds and looks like a Sanders wannabe. A compliment rb would be the one that travels low ... ..runs downhill and could knock a few DT's out of position.....and can drag a few LB's for a yard or two.

Outlaw Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Your RB room is Sanders, Scott, Clement, Warren/Holyfield with this dude making the PS maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see why. Miles is great, Scott is good in his role, Clement when healthy is good, and Warren/Holyfield should be a good competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
