By Ryan Quigley
Several players stood out in the 2017 Senior Bowl and a few of them could interest the Eagles in the draft.
The Reese’s Senior Bowl is one of the more underrated events in all of football. While much of the talk this time of year is surrounding Super Bowl LI, all 32 NFL teams, including the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons, had their eyes glued to the television Saturday to get a final glimpse at the nation’s top senior draft prospects.
Last season, Carson Wentz made a name for himself at the Senior Bowl, which ultimately led to the Philadelphia Eagles trading up to draft him with their No. 2 overall selection. First-year Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott also used the Senior Bowl to help catapult his draft stock. The list goes on and on for current NFL stars whose standout Senior Bowl performance garnered mass recognition, and that won’t change.
There were several standout performers at this year’s Senior Bowl and a few of them just may interest the Eagles in the draft.
