The Eagles are in good shape at fullback.  27-year old Leonard Weaver will be the starting fullback but he’s really another tailback in disguise as he’s great with the football in his hands.  Weaver played in 16 games (8 starts) for the Eagles last season in which he carried the ball 70 times for 323 yards (4.6 ypc) with 2 TD grabs.  He also caught 15 passes for 140 yards (9.3 avg) with 2 TD grabs last season for the Eagles.  Weaver has now played in 62 games (19 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 150 times for 679 yards (4.5 ypc) with 3 TD carries.  He has also caught 75 passes for 687 yards (9.2 avg) with 4 TD grabs in his NFL career.  Weaver gives the Eagles an outstanding weapon on offense as he is a great runner, blocker and receiver.

27-year old Dwayne Wright will be backing up Weaver at fullback in 2010.  Wright has not played in the NFL since 2007 (his only year in the league).  In 2007,  Wright played in 14 games (0 starts) for the Bills in which he carried the ball 29 times for 94 yards (3.2 ypc).  He also caught 3 passes for 17 yards (5.7 avg) for the Bills that year.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE EAGLES FBs in 2010:  A

UPDATE:  (8/2/2010) – The Eagles have released Dwayne Wright.
