Philadelphia Eagles 7-round mock draft: Building for the future
player. 54. . Wide receiver. Philadelphia Eagles. Jaylen Waddle. 12
Adding Jaylen waddle to the Philadelphia Eagles offense could be a huge move.
Before Heisman trophy winner DeVonta Smith was the big news in Tuscaloosa. It was his running mate, wideout Jaylen Waddle, that had the National Football League excited. The five-foot-ten, 185-pound receiver is a tsunami of talent and a defense’s nightmare anytime he is near the football. The Philadelphia Eagles offense could be a dominant force by adding him.
A complete prospect, one that’s blessed with strong hands, abnormal athletic ability, and the freaky footwork that keeps defensive coordinators awake at night, Waddle is capable of being used in a multitude of ways.
The Alabama product would add value to the running game, to special teams, and to the passing attack. Before his injury in early 2020, Waddle was well on his way to being considered one of college football’s number one wideouts.
Fast forward to the present, and Waddle is slowly becoming a fan favorite. He was already a scout’s dream. Adding a player with Jaylen Waddle’s talent to the offense could give them a potential star. He has all the tools to be the Eagles’ first 1,000-yard WR since Jeremy Maclin.
