The Eagles traded back to No. 12 overall to stock up on more assets, but they could still be in play for an LSU-wide receiver late in the first round.
With Ja’Marr Chase opting out last season, Terrace Marshall got the chance to show his talents to the full for the Tigers.
Marshall is versatile and his production in the slot at LSU would allow him to make an immediate difference in the NFC East.
After his pro day, Marshall said he had more than one conversation with the Eagles, among others.
That interest and those conversations have continued, as Kyle Brandt reported on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football Tuesday morning that Philadelphia appears to be coveting Marshall.
“This guy is 6-3, catching 10 touchdowns in seven games before signing out for the rest of the season. You think they have all these guys, and they do. This is one more, a big, explosive playmaker they can go after. He’s talked a lot with the Eagles, so we’ll see. ”
To land Marshall between choice 22-27 in the first round, Philadelphia could be forced to split up with number 37 overall in the second round and number 70 in the third.
Marshall can be physical on the outside, while having the necessary speed that helps him separate on routes.
During the 2019 season, when Chase and Justin Jefferson both went over 1,000 yards, Marshall recorded 46 receptions for 671 yards and 13 touchdowns.
During the 2020 season, Marshall caught 48 passes for 731 yards and 10 touchdowns in seven games before logging out without proof.
