Potential Eagles replacements for Rodney McLeod in 2022 NFL Draft

Potential Eagles 2022 draft prospect Jaquan Brisker

Here’s our initial theory on Jaquan Brisker. He’s the best safety prospect entering the NFL Draft not named Kyle Hamilton. In 34 career games at the NCAA level, he tallied 151 tackles, including ten for a loss of yardage.

Add that to five interceptions and 14 pass breakups. Expect his name to be called during Round 1 of the selection meeting in April.

The Eagles have both won and lost when fishing in Penn State’s pool of talent. Miles Sanders qualifies as a win. Shareef Miller, a Philadelphia native, was a huge miss (and he’s out of the NFL after only three seasons and failing to register a single statistic in an NFL game).

Honorable mention: R.J. Roderick (South Carolina Gamecocks), Kenderick Duncan (Louisville Cardinals), and Lewis Cine (Georgia Bulldogs) 

Here’s a list of three guys to pay attention to, though all three might be drafted after Round 1. R.J. Roderick tallied 199 total tackles in 41 career games with the Gamecocks. Kenderick Duncan, after a nice ride with Georgia Southern, transferred to the Louisville Cardinals and proved to be pro-ready. Lewis Cine has a lot of eyes on him after winning a College Football Playoff National Championship with the Georgia Bulldogs.
