Philadelphia Eagles: 7 round 2017 NFL mock draft
By Ryan Quigley
Taylor Reynolds, CB, James Madison
It’s pretty safe to say that without Taylor Reynolds, JMU would not have won the FCS National Championship.
Originally scouted as a quarterback, Reynolds successfully made the transition to defensive back and leaves JMU having recorded 127 tackles, five forced fumbles and 11 interceptions. The 6’0″ corner played a shutdown role for the Dukes in his senior season and was named a third-team All-American as a redshirt senior, leading the CAA in pass breakups and ranking second in passes defended with 16.
Growing up in Newark, Delaware, Reynolds is more than familiar with the Eagles fanbase. He is quickly gaining recognition despite playing at a small school and could be a sleeper prospect come draft day.
