Eagles Sign ‘Explosive’ Ex-49ers Running Back & Former Super Bowl Champ
The Philadelphia Eagles made two roster moves with NFL free agency less than one month away from negotiations beginning. Philly is leaning on the two 2024 Super Bowl teams in the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs with their latest roster moves. The Eagles signed former Niners running back Tyrion Davis-Price and ex-Chiefs offensive tackle Darian Kinnard the team announced on February 20, 2024.
Davis-Price has plenty of upside at a running back position where the Eagles could use some help. San Francisco selected Davis-Price in the third round of the 2022 NFL draft with the No. 93 overall pick. Davis-Price has played sparingly on a 49ers team deep at running back, notching just seven appearances over the last two seasons.
Kinnard was selected by the Chiefs in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL draft. The offensive tackle spent time on the Chiefs practice squad this past season and played one game in 2022. While Kinnard lacks NFL snaps, the offensive linemen possesses experience on a championship roster.
Eagles RB Tyrion Davis-Price Pre-Draft Profile: ‘Big, Athletic Back Offering an Enticing Blend of Size & Explosiveness’
Davis-Price posted 211 carries for 1,003 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns at LSU in 2021. Heading into the 2022 draft, NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein praised Davis-Price’s “explosiveness” describing the playmaker as a “big, athletic back.”
“Big, athletic back offering an enticing blend of size and explosiveness to go with an SEC pedigree,” Zierlein wrote in his pre-draft profile of the newest Eagles running back. “Davis-Price’s early season tape was listless and lacking pro quality, but that changed over the second half of the year. He’s an enigmatic back featuring urgency, indecisiveness, physicality and finesse on any given carry.
