7. (236) Nate Ilaoa, RB
Nate Ilaoa is the kind of back that Andy Reid likes. He is a big guy that is a powerful runner and he’s an excellent receiver out of the backfield. Ilaoa is 5′8″, 248 pounds and he runs a 4.65 40. He won’t run by anyone for long TDs but he’s a solid all around back. In 37 games (27 starts) at Hawaii, Ilaoa carried the football 222 times for 1,689 yards (7.6 ypc) with 20 TD runs. He also caught 151 passes for 1,694 yards (11.2 avg) with 9 TD grabs. Ilaoa could wind up making the Eagles as a short yardage back and a special teams player as a rookie.
