Here are a few more names to memorize if you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan.

Quintin Morris, Bowling Green

There’s a lot to like about this six-foot-four and 248-pound prospect out of Bowling Green. Now, some may consider him as one of the undersized guys at his position, but if you need a comparison, he’s only about an inch shorter than Zach Ertz while sporting a similar body type.

Quintin Morris appeared in five games and racked up an impressive 12.4 yards-per-reception average on 20 catches. Write his name down if you’re taking notes.

Josh Pederson, Louisiana-Monroe 

BYU’s Matt Bushman is someone that definitely deserves a spot on this list, but without the benefit of an NFL Combine, it’s hard to determine how well he’s progressed after a ruptured Achilles tendon kept him out of the 2020 college football season.

For that reason, Louisiana-Monroe’s Josh Pederson earns a nod. Nice name huh?

Pederson (no relation to Doug) stands at six-foot-five and tips the scales at 232 pounds. He was solid in 2020, hauling in 32 receptions for 367 yards. That brings his career total at the collegiate level to 99 receptions for 1,191 yards and 11 trips to the end zone over the course of 35 games.

Trey McKitty, Georgia

Georgia’s Trey McKitty looked a lot better in 2018 and 2019 with Jake Fromm tossing him the rock than he did in 2020. The most recent college football campaign led to only six receptions for 108 yards and a single touchdown. He’s still someone to make a note of though.
