2. Philadelphia Eagles late-rounders who might become stars.

In the fourth and sixth rounds, the Eagles brought in the starting tackles from the University of Auburn, Jack Driscoll, and Prince Tega Wanogho. Driscoll was a four-year starter for the Tigers who has a boatload experience. He’s very nimble on his feet and very agile, especially when it comes to getting to the second level.

Wanogho, a Nigerian prince, came to the United States with NBA aspirations (before gaining over 50 pounds). He grew up swimming, playing soccer, and playing basketball. Like Driscoll, the Prince brings unique athleticism and speed to the offensive line.

There’s also seventh-round draft choice Casey Toohill out of Stanford. He’s a long-limbed pass rusher who lays the wood on every quarterback he hits. At the conclusion of his senior season, he had accumulated eight sacks and 11.5 tackles that resulted in a loss of yardage.

His quickness, ability to bend around the edge and his ability as a pass rusher are what sets him apart from others. Toohill will certainly bring speed to the Eagles.

In addition to the guys the Eagles drafted, undrafted free agents like running backs Michael Warren and Adrian Killins also provide another layer of speed for the 2020 rookie class. Sure, there are the questions about which rookies will end up making the final roster, but Eagles fans have plenty of reason to be excited about the speed these rookies will bring into camp. It isn’t just at the wide receiver position folks. This Eagles squad might just be a track team.
