The Eagles continued their SEC streak of draft picks, snagging offensive tackle Tyler Steen with the 65th pick in the third round.

An athletic offensive tackle who started his career on defense at Vanderbilt before transferring to Alabama, Steen started all 12 games at right tackle in his first year at that position, then started all nine games in 2020 at right tackle for the Commodores and all 12 games in 2021 at the left tackle spot.

Steen transferred from Vanderbilt to Alabama as a graduate student before the 2022 season, earning second-team All-SEC honors for his play in 13 starts at left tackle.

Steen could transition to the guard position in the NFL as a versatile player.
