Player Spotlight – Corey Clement – Poised for Greatness


Even though Corey Clement scored a touchdown and had the most receiving yards in the Superbowl, he is considered an unsung hero. The football community does not praise him enough. He is way more than “the backup that caught the snap during the Philly Special”!

Number 30 is ideal player to play alongside Jay Ajayi and Darren Sproles. With his ability to catch the ball in the flat and down the field, he can play sideline to sideline. With Wisconsin being a run heavy offense, Clement did not get a chance to showcase his catching ability. With a catching percentage of 77%, his best skill is his reliable hands.

Clement is a local Philadelphia talent that will be lighting it up in his second season in the NFL. Throughout his first year, he averaged 4.4 yards per carry and 13 yards per reception. Clement excelled at whatever he was asked to do. He is developing into another offensive weapon for the already stacked lineup. Like many young running backs, pass blocking is their weakest point. Once Clement becomes adept at pass blocking, he could be the starting running back. To start the 2018 season, he will be a serviceable 3rd down running back. 

From being an undrafted rookie to playing a pivotal role in the Superbowl, Corey Clement could be the future star running back in Philadelphia. Every Eagles fan should be eagerly anticipating the creative plays that Doug Pederson will be drawing up that involve Corey Clement.
