“In my opinion Philly talent is on the up and up right now. People have to be ready for us Philly guys. I played against Raheem (Blackshear) my freshman year and you can tell he’s a very talented running back. I had a quick talk with him on the visit. Him and I have a good connection with each other already, I think us together on same team would be great.”
