The Philadelphia Eagles are deep in the prospect evaluation process and a versatile linebacker/safety is high on the teams’ radar.
According to The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala, the Eagles will use one of their 30 pre-draft visits on Colorado linebacker Davion Taylor.
Davion Taylor has had pre-draft visits with 6 NFL teams. Also has a top-30 visit scheduled with the Eagles on March 24.

At Colorado, Taylor was used as a hybrid safety/linebacker and he could be a perfect replacement for Kamu Grugier-Hill.

Taylor was unable to play football in high school due to religious reasons and after some junior college success, he moved onto Colorado in 2018.
With the Buffaloes, Taylor appeared in 24 games, racking up 129 total tackles, 18 tackles for loss, six passes defended, and two sacks.
