The NFL draft starts in Mobile, Alabama, and as the Eagles and 29 other teams start figuring out a plan to reach the Super Bowl, coaches, scouts, and GMs have descended upon the most storied all-star game going today.
The National Team defeated the American Team, 16-7, in the 2024 Reese’s Senior Bowl on Saturday at Hancock Whitney Stadium on the University of South Alabama campus.
The game capped off a week-long interview process, including three days of practices, for more than 100 of the 2024 NFL Draft’s top senior (and select underclassman) prospects.
With all eyes now on the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, here are ten potential Eagles draft targets that stood out.
Schrader is a shorter back at 5-8 and 207 pounds, and although he didn’t break out as a rusher in the game, he was effective on check-downs and quick passes, with 54 yards receiving on five catches.
Philadelphia has three free agent wide receivers and the former Georgia wide receiver showed that he can be the 2024 version of Puka Nacua.
The Georgia safety had a strong showing and broke up a deep pass to North Carolina WR Devontez Walker at the end of the first quarter, one of three pass breakups Smith made, along with a TFL.
Jarvis Brownlee, DB, Louisville
Brownlee Jr. also made an interception, capping a strong week for him.
Brownlee stepped in front of an errant Sam Hartman throw for an interception in the red zone, running it back 32 yards in the final minute of the first half.
Gray tied for a game-high seven tackles and broke up two passes in the second half, nearly intercepting both of them.
McCaffrey — the brother of 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey — had two nice catches, including a one-handed grab for 13 yards, a 15-yard catch, and a 5-yard run. He also added a 20-yard punt return, showing the versatility he can bring to an NFL team.
