Here are two guys the Eagles are probably already thinking about.

You know the Eagles love to see speed at the wide receiver position, even if the guy can’t catch. With Danny Gray, the Birds get a guy with the ability to provide them with both if they’re interested. He can get loose in a hurry.

He dealt with some injuries toward the end of the most recent college football regular season, but he seemed to be okay once he reached the most recent NFL Scouting Combine, running a blistering 4.33-second 40-yard dash. That will always help you find your way onto a few NFL radars. His stat line is one to make note of too.

In ten games this season, he racked up a 16.4 yards-per-reception average, hauling in 49 passes for 803 yards. He reached the end zone nine times in the process.

. Justyn Ross, Clemson. 5. player. 879. .

Justyn Ross never earned All-ACC honors during his time with Clemson. Heck, these days you would think that would be easy sledding for any wide receiver playing for the Tigers. Don’t let the oversight fool you though. He’s a baller, and NFL teams are certain to fall in love with his size and game tape.

This six-foot-four, 205-pound monster racked up 158 receptions for 2,379 yards and 20 touchdowns during his 38-game career in Death Valley despite sitting out the 2020 season with a spinal issue that required him to undergo surgery to repair the injury.
