The NFL Draft starts in Mobile, Alabama, and on Saturday afternoon, the National team dominated the American team 27-10 at Hancock Whitney Stadium.
Fresno State quarterback Jake Haener was named the game MVP after he completed 12 of 19 passes for 139 yards and a 44-yard-touchdown connection to Stanford wide receiver Michael Wilson, who impressed all week long.
The Eagles have 18 players set to hit free agency and with Howie Roseman needing to reload, here are ten draft prospects that stood out on Saturday.
1
Virginia, CB, Anthony Johnson
Johnson moves well for his size, and consistently battles for the ball at the catch point.

Zero TDs allowed in coverage last season🔒

Tyson Bagent, QB, Shepherd
Bagent, whose 159 career touchdown passes is an NCAA all-division record, completed 17 of 22 passes for 138 yards in the Senior Bowl before tossing a late interception.
Bagent is trying to become the first Division II quarterback drafted since the Rams picked Keith Null in the sixth round in 2009.
4
Evan Hull, RB, Northwestern
Hull was one of two players who finished the 2022 season with over 500 rushing and receiving yards (Kenny McIntosh-Georgia), amassing 1,459 total yards on 276 touches.
On Saturday, Hull logged 74 rushing yards on 10 carries.

Chris Rodriguez Jr., RB, Kentucky
A tough, athletic running back, Rodriguez Jr. could make sense if Philadelphia loses both Miles Sanders and Boston Scott.

Darnell Wright, OL, Tennessee
With Andre Dillard set for free agency and Lane Johnson getting a year older, the Eagles could look to add another talented offensive tackle to the mix.
“A 6’6″, 335-pound mountain of a man, Darnell Wright’s size is weaponized at the position by an impressive pair of levers that are as technically exciting as they are physically imposing.” 🥞

Isaiah Foskey, DE, Notre Dame
Isaiah Foskey (@IFoskey) goes speed to power, strikes the blocker with inside hand placement & puts him on the ground. Keep it simple, keep it violent! #passrush #seniorbowl #speedtopower pic.twitter.com/hatnjGjpYn

Darius Rush, CB, South Carolina
At 6-foot-2 and 196 pounds, Rush is a bit heavier than Sauce Gardner, with elite read-and-react skills and a veteran’s patience.

K.J. Henry, DE, Clemson
Henry has good size at 6-4 and 247 pounds and would be comparable to Josh Sweat if he were a more natural pass rusher.

Keeanu Benton, DT, Wisconsin
A massive defensive tackle (6-4, 312), Benton can dominate at the point of attack and would pair well with Jordan Davis, or Javon Hargrave.
