    The running back position has been devalued in the NFL in recent years Black Wendell Smallwood Jerseys , but one running back appears poised to be snapped up no later than the end of the first round. to draft slots in the 20s in most mock drafts, with the Raiders (who own picks 24 and 27) appearing to like him and the Eagles and Colts (25th and 26th) high on him as well.In his mock draft, Peter King projected the Raiders trading up to 21st to take Jacobs. Oakland may think it has to move up to 24 to keep some other team from leapfrogging it.The Raiders are reportedly poised to do something surprising, but taking Jacobs at No. 4 overall would be stunning Wendell Smallwood Jerseys 2019 , not just surprising.Still, for as much as the NFL has become a passing league and not a running league, teams continue to draft running backs. Last year Saquon Barkley went second overall, Rashaad Penny 27th and Sony Michel 31st. Jacobs surely won’t go as high as Barkley did last year Black Isaac Seumalo Jerseys , but he seems likely to be off the board as early as Penny was last year. UPDATE: The NFL officially changed Cody Parkey’s missed kick to a block by Treyvon Hester. It’s the first blocked field goal in Eagles postseason history. Very good time for a first. Original story below.It turns out that Cody Parkey’s missed game-winning field goal attempt from 43 yards out wasn’t just a lucky break for the Philadelphia Eagles. The reigning Super Bowl champions seemingly deserve some credit for making that miss happen. After Sunday’s game, Malcolm Jenkins indicated that Eagles defensive tackle Treyvon Hester got a hand on Parkey’s kick:Bo Wulf then followed up with Hester to confirm as much:And now we have some video evidence:And even more evidence:WOW.It’s crazy to think that out of all the players on Eagles’ roster ... it was ultimately Treyvon Hester who kept the season alive. Just another example of how IT’S THE WHOLE TEAM (Jason Kelce voice) stepping up and making plays.Hester wasn’t even on the 53-man roster to start the season! The Eagles originally signed him to their practice squad in September before promoting him to the main roster in October.There’s not much, if any, glamour in being a solid rotational backup defensive tackle. But that’s exactly what Hester has been for the Eagles this year. And he just stepped up and saved the season. Insane.Hats off to the Eagles’ pro personnel department on this signing. And thank you Jon Gruden for cutting him from the Raiders! Get the DOUBLE DOINK t-shirt by [CLICKING HERE]!
