. Anfernee Jennings. . player. 829. .

Former Alabama Crimson Tide standout Anfernee Jennings is a six-foot-one, 252-pound mass of muscle that racked up 193 total tackles, including 33.5 for a loss, 14.5 sacks, two interceptions, 18 pass breakups, and three forced fumbles in 48 career games during his time in Tuscaloosa.

There are a few pro scouts that are of the belief that there are some limitations that may prevent him from starting early, but he can play both inside and out at the second level. You can also make the argument that he’s just as talented as anyone Philly currently has on the roster.

He’s probably better suited to play in the 3-4 scheme, but the Eagles would be wise not to ignore someone who NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein compares to Kyle Van Noy in a recent draft profile he cooked up on the man who wore number 33 for Bama.

If that’s a comparison that holds up, Philly may have something if they go the route of taking him in Round 3 or later (if Jennings is still available at that point).
