Bleeding Green Nation on Carson Steele
From the article
Steele's 88 yards were the most by an Eagles running back in a preseason game since Raheem Mostert had 93 against the Jets (along with 69 rushing yards) in a loss to the Jets in East Rutherford in 2015. Steele, who finished at UCLA after two years at Ball State, really shined Saturday night. He showed soft hands, a great feel for running in space and tremendous toughness in traffic as well as plus athleticism hurdling defenders twice, including on his touchdown.
STACKED’s take
Steele's 88-yard preseason receiving performance is his career high by far.
Steele recorded 6 catches for 88 yards receiving in preseason against New England, the most by an Eagles running back in a preseason game since Raheem Mostert's 93 yards in 2015. The source notes this far exceeds his college career high of 57 yards and his NFL regular-season high of 9 yards, showcasing soft hands, great feel for running in space, tremendous toughness in traffic, plus athleticism, and hurdling ability on his touchdown. While preseason performances against backups warrant caution, the source emphasizes there is 'a lot to like about Steele's game' and describes him as 'precisely the kind of player you want on the practice squad: smart, tough and productive.'
