The Eagles are all about doing their due diligence on NFL draft prospects and even after trading and swapping a pick with the Saints, they’re still evaluating quarterbacks.
During a sitdown with the NFL Network’s Rich Eisen, former Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral confirmed that he’ll have a top-30 predraft visit with Philadelphia among seven other teams with first-round picks.
The 6-foot-1, 205 pound Corral passed for 3,349-yards, 20 touchdowns to just 5 interceptions during his final season at Ole Miss and he accounted for 6,686 yards, 49 touchdowns, and 19 interceptions over his final two seasons.
Corral also displayed his strengths as a dual-threat quarterback, logging 1,120 yards and 15 touchdowns on the ground for the Rebels as well.
The Eagles aren’t expected to add a quarterback in the first round, but you can never tell what a team or general manager is thinking.
