The Eagles and 31 other teams were in Indianapolis for the 2023 NFL scouting combine, and all eyes Sunday were on the running backs and offensive linemen portion of the workouts.
Pro Bowl running back Miles Sanders and Boston Scott are both slated for free agency along with 9 key contributors on defense.
It won’t be possible for the Eagles to bring them all back, especially once Jalen Hurts signs his new deal.
With Philadelphia potentially targeting a running back in April’s draft, names like Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Zach Charbonnet were on display.
Here are seven takeaways from the final day of the scouting combine.

The Georgia offensive tackle is an athletic marvel and a player to watch at multiple positions along the offensive line.

The Texans running back put on a show and with two first-round picks, Philadelphia wouldn’t be foolish in selecting the All-American at No. 10 overall.

Anton Harrison
Oklahoma T Anton Harrison joins the legacy of Sooner OL heading to the NFL like #Eagles RT Lane Johnson.
Harrison said he looks up to Johnson + appreciates that he always returned to Norman, showing he cares about the players who followed him. pic.twitter.com/SiQg2FMkFz

An Oklahoma Sooner like Lane Johnson, Harrison would provide elite depth to the Eagles’ deepest position.

Harrison allowed just two sacks over three seasons. And he’s a dominant run blocker as well.
Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland to Anton Harrison after his rep in the pass pro drop drill:
“Nice three-step drop! You know the value of that!”
High praise for the Oklahoma tackle.

Peter Skoronski
If Philadelphia wants to make a statement about rebuilding in the trenches, then Skoronski would be the guy at No. 10 overall. The Northwestern offensive tackle recorded the 2nd-best vertical (34.5″) and broad jump (9’7″) of the offensive line group at the 2023 NFL Combine, earning an 83 athleticism score.
