The Philadelphia Eagles love pass-rushers and Adam McLean is the perfect fit.

Maryland Terrapin defensive tackle Adam McLean would be the perfect fit on the Philadelphia Eagles defensive line. A team can never have enough pass-rushers and McLean possesses the size and skill set to be a great get.

A dominant force in the middle of the line, McLean is both a run-stopper and a headache for quarterbacks with his violent hands and thick base. Blessed with a huge football IQ, McLean has the smarts to serve as an on-field coach.

The Philadelphia Eagles front office has shown an interest each of the last few years in loading and reloading their defensive line. Adding a player with McLean’s skillset would give them a true under-the-radar prospect that could help in every aspect of the defensive gameplan.

With Fletcher Cox and Malik Jackson getting up in age, it would behoove the front office to find some legitimate players who can learn from both and eventually take over for them. With his nasty style of play and football intelligence, Adam McLean could be the player to do so.
