5 draft prospects who impressed in 2017 Senior Bowl
By Ryan Quigley
Tanoh Kpassagnon, DE, Villanova
Kpassagnon (pronounced Tawn-oh pass-N-yo) is a skyscraper with arms and legs. The 6’7″, 280-pound defensive end recorded a sack in Saturday’s Senior Bowl and caught the eye of just about every team in the NFL thanks to his sheer size and strength.
As a senior at Villanova, Kpassagnon finally finished growing into his body and recorded 45 tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss and 11 sacks. The towering edge defender is currently projected to be selected between the third and fourth round of the draft.
On top of dominating on the gridiron, Kpassagnon was a double major at Villanova. With Villanova being located in the suburbs of northwestern Philadelphia, it’s hard to imagine the Eagles haven’t already done their fair share of homework on this physically imposing defender.
