The Eagles signed Rashaad Penny to a one-year deal , but the absolute apple of Howie Roseman’s eyes landed at Philadelphia International Airport on Monday night.
Texas All-American running back Bijan Robinson is at the NovaCare Complex for a top 30 predraft visit, and Philadelphia currently has two first-round picks.

Robinson logged 1,580 yards and 18 touchdowns on the ground last season while breaking 91 tackles, and he’d bring a Marshall Faulk-style smoothness to the running back position alongside Jalen Hurts.
The Longhorns star is a dynamic three-down running back that would make the Eagles much more explosive, and he’d complement Rashaad Penny thanks to his abilities as a pass catcher.
Philadelphia wouldn’t usually take a running back at No. 10 overall.
Still, Robinson is dynamic, and the extra first-round pick for a team with Super Bowl aspirations wouldn’t be the worst move a general manager could make.
On a rookie deal, Robinson would allow Brian Johnson’s offense to take shape with a game-changing dual-threat running back to help alleviate pressure off All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurts.
