University of Washington defensive lineman Josiah Bronson has the size that’s coveted by NFL coaches. A strong-armed, thick-bodied athletic freak, the six-foot-three and 300-pound prospect has all of the tools to be a potential star for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Bronson is a former Temple Owl that has the versatility to be used in a multitude of ways. He’s capable of dominating in the middle of the defensive formation, but he also has the skill set to kick outside and rush the passer off of the edge.

He has the strong hands needed to keep offensive lineman off of his body. He also has the football intelligence to be a steal for the Philadelphia Eagles later on in the draft.

The Philadelphia Eagles’ front office has to make the best of the 2021 Draft.

Howie Roseman and his front office posse will need to identify and land all the versatile weapons they can in the 2021 NFL Draft. The obvious need to upgrade holes across the roster has become an eyesore. Prospects like Bronson could go a long way in filling multiple spots.

The fact of the matter is this. The Husky product can play anywhere across the defensive line and boost a staggering defense to the point of dominance. While the Philadelphia Eagles house two of the National Football League’s more productive defenders (Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham), they’ll need to add depth as well. Bronson is someone that can develop into a leader.

Here is a great quote Philadelphia Eagles fans should pay attention to.

We at ITI had an opportunity to speak with a scouting source and ask him his thoughts on the Washington Husky. While he did not want to be named, he did have this to say:

"Bronson was a guy that I was really interested in watching after he left Temple and walked on (at) UW. He has great size and comes from good stock. Both of his brothers played in the NFL and had some success. He’s strong and versatile. I think if he can get the right development, he could truly be a disruptive force at the next level. He’s someone to pay attention to."

The Philadelphia Eagles Need to continue to build their depth chart and roster. Landing a young talented prospect like Josiah Bronson could be a great investment moving forward. With his size, raw talent, and aggressive playing style, Bronson could be a huge acquisition in the 2021 NFL Draft.
