Kenneth Gainwell Displays Receiving Skills In Preseason Opener
3 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell had two carries for 14 yards and two receptions for 16 yards versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gainwell opted out of the 2020 college football season but dominated his last time on the field in 2019, in which he had 2,069 yards from scrimmage and 16 touchdowns, including hauling in 51 catches. While the rookie is an electric runner and has impressive hands, he only weighs 201 pounds and has little draft capital as he was selected in the fifth round. Though Gainwell will begin the season as merely a handcuff, he could see a share of third-down work and become a flyer in PPR leagues later in the year.
