SI.com says to look for Lorenzo Booker to beat out Correll Buckhalter for the backup running back job in Philadelphia. Peter King notes that he could become the kind of trusted change-of-pace back that could give Westbrook a blow for a series or two a game.

May 31, 2008
Lorenzo Booker is impressing the Eagles so far in practice, according to the Miami Herald. The team likes his speed, agility, and big-play potential, and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg commented that the former member of the Dolphins has been even a little better than expected.

May 28, 2008

May 2, 2008
The Philadelphia Eagles trade for running back Lorenzo Booker provides the organization with the ability to be more creative on offense in 2008, according to the Trenton Times. "He's somebody we really liked in the draft last year, but we couldn't pull it off where we were able to get him," head coach Andy Reid said of Booker, whose presence will allow Westbrook to line up more in the slot. "I think he and Brian on the field will be a nice combination for our offense."

April 1, 2008
New Miami coach Tony Sparano appears to like what he seems from running back Lorenzo Booker, telling the Palm Beach Post that Booker is "a guy that when you watch, he jumps off the film a little bit. He's interesting in that he's a guy that you've got to get touches for. You've got to find a way to get Lorenzo the ball. I think there's a role... He's going to be out there." Booker didn't see the field much in his rookie season, and with Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams still around, it doesn't seem like he would be in line for much playing time in his second year, either. Booker has some talent, though, so perhaps he can force his way onto the field.
