Nahshon Wright is the perfect prospect for the Philadelphia Eagles to consider.

Oregon State cornerback Nahshon Wright would be a steal for the Philadelphia Eagles. At six-foot-four and 195-pounds, Wright is a long corner that plays with a quick-twitch and a nasty demeanor.

A true cover guy, Wright plays with the swagger coaches love while also possessing the ball skills and tools to be a star. He is a standout in coverage that uses the perfect angles when dealing with speedier wideouts, and a nose for the ball.

He never shies away from contact in the running game and loves to make contact with anyone that has the ball. The Philadelphia Eagles lack a true number-two corner to pair with Darius Slay, and Wright would be the perfect fit.

Finding a player with great size, superb athletic ability, and smooth hips is no easy task, so if Wright is available later, Howie Roseman needs to pounce on the opportunity to nab him. With his unique skill set, he’d be the player Eagles fans have been clamoring for. His presence in Philly’s locker room would push the Eagles defense towards becoming a dominant unit again.
