The Philadelphia Eagles are in Mobile checking out the Senior Bowl but if you ask most draft experts and prognosticators, their minds are on Henry Ruggs III and his potential fit with Carson Wentz.
Ruggs III and the Eagles have been a mutual couple when mentioned during the mock draft season and the narrative didn’t change with the NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah. The scouting guru and personnel experts believes the former Crimson Tide and the Eagles are a perfect match as well.
PICK
21
Henry Ruggs III – WR
School: Alabama | Year: JuniorSpeed! The Eagles are focused on getting faster this offseason, and Ruggs is the most explosive player in the draft.
The Eagles need for speed matches up with the dynamic playmaking ability Ruggs III can offer in both the passing game and running game.
With Alshon Jeffery and JJ Arcega-Whiteside currently on the roster, the Eagles can afford to steer clear of a big-bodied wideout and need to focus on a player in the mold of Tyreek Hill, a player who changes the outcome of games with one single run after the catch or the ability run away from the defense.
