One of the reasons Corey Clement went undrafted in April was that NFL teams had questions about the running back’s ability to catch the football.
He wasn’t used much as a receiver at the University of Wisconsin, catching a total of 29 passes in 39 games. But there he was Monday night, making an acrobatic touchdown catch on national television in the Eagles’ big 34-24 win over the Redskins.
“Yeah, I’m not supposed to be able to catch,’’ the rookie said with a smile.
Clement came into Monday’s game with 25 rushing attempts this season, but just one reception.
