A closer look at Philadelphia’s ninth pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
With the 2025 NFL Draft over, it’s time for some film rooms on the Philadelphia Eagles’ rookie class. I will try to get to all 10 draft picks and the UDFAs over the next few weeks. Loads of scouting reports will say very similar things, so I have tried to include film clips to back up everything and I will talk about the player’s fit with the Eagles at the end of the piece. I managed to get the All22 for several rookies, but I can’t share those clips on my Twitter accounts (or I risk getting blocked), so I’ve used a few other accounts here. Let’s go!
You can check out my podcast feed here to hear more from me. I have a Patreon linked to my podcast if you want to support me further. Due to being unable to share All22 on Twitter, I am doing All22 watch-alongs on every Eagles’ rookie on the Patreon, which is really cool!

+ Long arms and a powerful build that allow him to engulf and dominate defenders in both the run and pass game. He’s built like a prototype tackle. There’s loads of film here for you to watch!
+ Look at how effortlessly he can get into his pass set for a big guy.
+ Really strong at the point of attack in pass protection. He can stonewall rushers with sheer size and grip strength once locked in with good hand placement. His hands are inconsistent, but when he wins, he dominates.
+ Good mobility for his size, allowing him to execute pulls and cover second-level defenders effectively.
+ Strong physical traits and power in the run game. he’s able to overwhelm defenders in the run game and create a solid anchor in pass protection. His physicality shows up when he’s latched onto defenders.
+ Considering his size, he moves well in space and is fluid on pulls and climbs.
+ Only one full year of starting experience and already flashes starting-level traits. The tools are there.
- He is extremely inconsistent with his hand placement, and his late hand strikes leave him prone to losing balance. He ends up on the ground far too often.
- He’s raw in every way, not just technically. He’s had 11 false start penalties in 16 starts. He’s still learning how to play. He has a few reps a game where he is all over the place.
- He struggles with footwork, and despite moving well, he doesn’t always look fluid or coordinated.
- It’s a shame we didn’t get to see his athletic testing numbers. He appears athletic on film, but testing is crucial when evaluating the offensive line.
- Has a bad tendency to lunge and fail to latch onto defenders....
