10 Philadelphia Eagles prospects who rose and fell at combine, WR edition
These guys saw their stock fall.
Your heart has to go out to tight end Thaddeus Moss as a physical demonstrated that some of the injuries that he sustained during the 2019-2020 championship run for the LSU Tigers are more severe than we originally thought. There’s also South Florida’s Mitchell Wilcox, who got hit in the face with a football when the tight ends were on the field for one of the combine’s on-field drills.
He’s been the subject of some rather unfavorable jokes as a result. Take a look.
Here are several wide receivers who saw their stock fall slightly.
1. Jalen Reagor
Heading into pro football’s biggest job fair, Jalen Reagor was one of the guys ranked ahead of guys like Justin Jefferson and Chase Claypool on several teams’ and scouts’ draft boards. There was also some talk that both he and Ruggs had a shot at running the 40 in the 4.2-second range.
Ruggs did his part to warrant that confidence. Reagor showed up looking a little heavy and was clocked at 4.47 on his first attempt and 4.5 on his second. That’s good for some prospects but not for someone seen as one of the faster prospects in the upcoming draft.
2. Laviska Shenault Jr.
Right around a week ago, Laviska Shenault Jr. was in a lot of fans and pundits’ top ten of the best receivers in this year’s draft class. After a pedestrian showing in the 40 and the growing discussion of his seemingly fragile but large frame, the concern is this. Can the nice showings of some of his peers bump him out of the first round entirely?
