Tank Bigsby brought his physical downhill running style from Jacksonville to Philadelphia in a September 2025 trade, adding depth to the Eagles' backfield.
Cartavious "Tank" Bigsby built his reputation at Auburn as a bruising, high-volume rusher before the Jaguars drafted him in 2023. After two seasons in Jacksonville, he was traded to the Eagles in 2025, where he contributes as a rotational back and kick returner.
Path to the league
Bigsby rushed for 2,903 yards and 25 touchdowns across three seasons at Auburn, earning SEC Newcomer/Freshman of the Year honors in 2020 after averaging 6.0 yards per carry. The Jacksonville Jaguars selected him in the third round, 88th overall, of the 2023 NFL Draft.
Career highlights
Bigsby posted a career year in 2024 with 766 yards and seven touchdowns for the Jaguars, showing flashes of explosiveness including multi-touchdown outings in October. He was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles on September 9, 2025, in exchange for 2026 fifth- and sixth-round draft picks.
2025 season recap
Bigsby joined the Eagles' backfield rotation and kick return unit after the September trade, scoring his first touchdown with the team in December during Philadelphia's division-clinching win over Washington.
