New Addition Jordan Howard 'Dominating' Reps With Eagles' Starters
By Parker White
Under head coach Doug Pederson, the Philadelphia Eagles have used a committee approach in their running back position, but that might change heading into the 2019 season.
New Eagles running back Jordan Howard, formerly of the Chicago Bears, has been "dominating" the first-team reps in the early-going of training camp.

Don't get me wrong, Miles Sanders, Corey Clement and Darren Sproles will see the field, but it appears Howard has already proven he should be the lead back and get the bulk of the snaps for this Eagles team, especially on running downs.

When speaking to the media today, Pederson talked about how much he likes Howard's vision, which could certainly help him establish himself as the team's top rusher. Howard has always been known as a short-yardage running back, but with the glowing words coming from Pederson, he may be able to bring more to the table in this new system, especially behind the Eagles' beastly offensive line.
