NFL Draft Results: Eagles pick Will Shipley at No. 127

The Eagles have a new running back!

With the 127th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select … Will Shipley, running back, Clemson!

The Eagles made this selection after previously trading down from No. 120 AND No. 123 to acquire picks in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Shipley, who turns 22 in August, was a productive college player as a runner, pass-catcher, and returner over the last three years.

In Philly, Shipley projects to be a rotational running back. He has a chance to be RB3 behind obvious lead back Saquon Barkley and RB2 Kenny Gainwell.

Scouting report via NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein:

Versatile running back with talent as a runner, receiver and kick returner. Shipley possesses early speed, allowing him to whip through creases and outrun linebackers to the corner. He’s a flexible runner who reads up to the linebackers and curates his runs with a feel for both defensive positioning and run lane development. He can balance through contact but is unlikely to move NFL piles. Shipley does a nice job of setting up opponents from anywhere on the field and has the agility to hop and hurdle over bodies. He’s not a workhorse and still has work to do in order to solidify himself as a third-down option, but the athletic talent and skill level could create an early pathway into a spot as a productive RB2.
