Four months ago, former University of Washington running back Chris Polk was considered among the Top 5 backs available in the 2012 NFL Draft. Polk had gained over 4,000 yards on the ground during his 40-game college career and, at 5-foot-10 and 215 pounds, ran a sub-4.6 time in the 40-yard dash. If it was a surprise when Polk lasted until Day Three of the draft, and it was downright stunning that he was not among the 21 running backs to be selected in April. Instead, Polk was signed to a three-year contract by the Philadelphia Eagles that included a $10,000 signing bonus, according to a source with knowledge of the contract. A few months into his Eagles career, Polk could be moving from running back to fullback, offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said via Tim McManus of phillymag.com. "Certainly that's been discussed and thought of," Mornhinweg said of a position change for Polk. "I think Chris Polk is an excellent football player. I think he is an excellent ball carrier, I think he could be an excellent blocker as well." Source: NFL.com
Well no other way he makes the team, unfortunately. If he was one of those 'chip the outside rusher, go out for a pass in the flats' type fullback, I am DOWN. Otherwise yeah... this is just silly.
I just think he would get destroyed. Havili being healthy and showing that he has some playmaking ability isn't helping his case, nor is Bryce.
