Tom Pelissero said the Eagles met with Western Kentucky defensive back Kahlef Hailassie.
Western Kentucky CB Kahlef Hailassie continues to draw interest from some of the NFL’s best teams: He visits the #Eagles today, then heads to the visit the #Bengals, per source. A onetime Oregon recruit, Hailassie previously visited the #Chiefs.

Hailassie recorded a sack in each of WKU’s first three games of the year, and he recorded two interceptions on the year, both in wins over FIU and UAB.
In addition to his two interceptions, Hailassie broke up ten passes. He also forced two fumbles and recorded one. For his efforts, he was named to the All-C-USA Second Team.
