Will Shipley

ANALYSIS
Those hoping for Shipley to make an immediate impact as a rookie may be disappointed with this selection because the Eagles gave Saquon Barkley a big contract this offseason. Still, Shipley profiles as a solid depth option behind Barkley, who has had durability issues. Shipley starred at Clemson for three years after being ranked as a five-star recruit in high school. He topped out with 210 carries for 1,182 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2022 and was more so part of a committee as a junior. Shipley did not test at the combine due to a knee issue but put down a 4.45 in the 40 at Clemson's Pro Day. He may not be built for workhorse functions but can be a rotational rusher with some pass-catching assignments as well given his 69 receptions on 85 targets in his final two seasons in college. Shipley is a better back right now than Kenneth Gainwell, but that hasn't stopped Philadelphia from giving Gainwell the snaps anyway in the past.

ANALYSIS
Shipley rushed for 2,748 yards and 31 touchdowns across three seasons at Clemson, and he caught over 30 passes in each of the last two years, showcasing a three-down skill set. He has average size at 5-foot-11 and 206 pounds, though Shipley showcased good speed with a 4.45-second 40-yard dash at Clemson's Pro Day, which sets him up as a likely fourth-round pick.
