Rasul Douglas

Douglas is just what the doctor ordered for the Eagles. While he tends to struggle in man coverage, Douglas is a ballhawking defensive back who not only plays well against the pass, but can make an impact against the run as well.

At 6’2″, 209 pounds, Douglas is a larger corner and may even be able to play some snaps at safety if the Eagles choose to broaden his abilities.

Douglas may not be an immediate starter for the Eagles, but he definitely has the potential to be an eventual playmaking defensive back down the road.
