The Facts: Hyde's offseason program has been a resounding success. Few, if any, players have earned as much praise from Chip Kelly. But it hasn't been Hyde's ability as a runner that's impressed the coach. Instead, it's been the RB's sticky hands that have stood out. Hyde has been a featured weapon in the team's passing game in each of the open practices this spring. "He's got really, really good hands," Kelly said. "It's interesting from someone that size and that has that skillset as a guy coming out of the backfield. So, it's certainly something we need to continue to build upon with him."

Diehards Line: Hyde called his receiving ability an underrated part of his game. That's probably because he's never had more than 16 receptions in a season dating back to his days at Ohio State. In 2015, he totaled 11 catches for 53 yards in seven games. “I think it’s something that’s overlooked, but this year we may get to see it,” Hyde told reporters. “I like playing receiver. It’s another opportunity to get out in space and get the ball in your hands." So apparently, Hyde’s complete skillset is exactly what Kelly is looking for out of the team’s starting back. “He can do everything,” the coach raved. “You’re looking for a back that can do it all. You’re looking for a guy who can be a three-down back, and that’s certainly what Carlos is.” Remember, Philadelphia ranked in the top 13 (and as high as No. 3) in points per game during each of Kelly’s three seasons as the Eagles head coach. The high-scoring scheme certainly doesn’t shy away from throwing the ball to a running back, either. Last season, Eagles running backs caught 128 passes. By comparison, 49ers ball-carriers had 87 receptions in 2015. It's something worth watching.
