The Super Bowl champion, Philadelphia Eagles, did well, very well, in the NFL 2025 draft.
So say the so -called expert drafts?
Try Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey.
The Eagles selected Andrew Mukuba from Texas in the second round, giving him an internal track to replace CJ Gardner-Johnson, who was after the Super Bowl victory.
The selection was defended on social networks by McConaughey, the actor and noticed Lonchorns fan. Mukuba is Austin, Texas, native and former four -star recruit that began approximately three seasons for Clemson before transferring to Texas.
“It is really difficult to find coverage insurance and boys who have the ability to lower and play on the slot, play in the middle of the field, have natural instincts, play the ball,” said the general manager of the Eagles, Howie Roseman. “He has ball skills. He plays with mentality and this type: he plays a football brand from the Eagles.
“I think for us, the value fits the need right there.”
Mukuba, who was born in Zimbabwe and said on Saturday that happened, said he had several conversations in Clemson with the member of the Fame Hall of Football of Pro Brian Dawkins, who spent most of his career with the Eagles. He pointed out that Dawkins remained a popular element in Clemsson, South Carolina, as well as Mukuba’s new home.
“I know they love him here too,” said Mukuba.
Mukuba had at least another Eagles connection: he was a fourth partner during a season in Clemson with the Eagles Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Bulldogs of Philadelphia
The Eagles continue to store former Bulldogs of Georgia. They added to the supporter Smael Mondon Jr. in the fifth round.
Mondon, who had driving and driving charges against him, dismissed last year, joins some family faces in the Eagles. Philadelphia already has Jalen Carter, Lewis Cine, Jordan Davis, Nakobe Dean, Azeez Ojulari, Kelee Ringo and Nolan Smith from Georgia.
The Eagles gave the defensive coordinator Vic Fangio many rookies to work. In the fourth round, they selected the defensive Ty Robinson Tackle, a five -year headline in Nebraska. In the fifth, they touch the corner of UCF Mac McWilliams.
New QB
The Eagles are established in Quarterback with the MVP of the Super Bowl Jalen Hurts and the Backup Tanner McKee. They added depth when they shook Kyle McCord from Syracuse in the sixth round (181 ° in general).
McCord, of the nearby Mount Laurel, New Jersey, led the FBS last season with 4,779 yards in form, a total that broke the record of a single season ACC of Deshaun Watson. He made the AP All-Bowl team after spending for 453 yards and five touchdowns in a victory over the state of Washington in the vacation bowl.
Before that, McCord launched for 380 yards and three touchdowns such as the orange and then. 6 Miami (Florida), 42-38, in the final of the regular season, eliminating the hurricanes of the game for the title of ACC.
McCord began his career in the state of Ohio. It happened for 3,170 yards and 24 touchdowns for buckey in 2023.
