One big thing the Philadelphia Eagles would love to be able to do in the 2026 NFL Draft is be able to find the perfect sleeper pick late in the draft.
Last year, they picked up wide receiver Darius Cooper as an undrafted free agent, and he ended up making the 53-man roster. The Eagles are searching for the next Cooper, and the franchise's star quarterback, Jalen Hurts, and star wide receiver DeVonta Smith might have someone to keep in mind.
NFL insider Mike Garafolo shared a story of Hurts and Smith recently working out at Temple as they joined Owls wide receiver Kajiya Hollawayne for a workout. Hollawayne went for 489 yards and six touchdowns last season at Temple, as he is projected as a late Day 3 pick or undrafted free agent in the draft.
Could Kajiya Hollawayne be the sleeper pick Eagles are looking for in 2026?
Hollawayne is an interesting prospect for the Eagles, as he is local since he went to Temple in Philly, so that's a big advantage for the team to have him in their backyard. He also put up some nice numbers in his offseason workouts to improve his chances of being selected.
During his Pro Day workout, Hollawayne ran a 4.45-second 40-yard dash with a vertical of 36.5" and a 10-foot, 6-inch broad jump. His 6-foot-4 frame shows that he's got great speed for his height and could be an intriguing receiver for the Eagles to pick.
A.J. Brown is more than likely going to get traded in the next few months, and the Eagles have been loading up at the wide receiver position with Marquise "Hollywood" Brown, Elijah Moore, and Dontayvion Wicks being added in the last month. Hollawayne could be the next one added, as the Eagles are still expected to add a wide receiver in the draft.

The Eagles are trying to get younger on offense, and adding Hollawayne would help them do that while bringing in potentially great talent.
