LeSean McCoy. Mark it down. Perfect fit for Philly.

Too light...needs 10 -15 lbs on him...but you really like those Pittsburgh guys huh?

Maybe he does need to bulk up a bit, but with Westbrook coming off injury, I can see McCoy stepping in and filling the same kind of role quite nicely. It just seems to me that he's the best "fit" of any of the rookie runners--though I have to admit I fully expect a big year from Beanie Wells too.

Don't get me wrong, I like McCoy...I hope he does well, though -25 yards against Dallas would be nice too...

Wells doesn't have a good line to run behind...I think he may struggle.
