I loved Jalen at Alabama, can’t wait to see how he does with the Eagles

    Oh yeah he’s gonna be riding that bench pretty hard.

hector valverde

It’s not his fault.. Howie just an idiot..

    Phillysports 10

    We could’ve taken mims and we would’ve had a decent group of receivers

    ffemt66

    Taysom Hill carved his role. We can build with this young man. 3rd down read option etc. he can catch too.

Rubens Tayei Nakasima

Great guy!! wish him the best! Go Eagles!

SangheiliWarrior

Ugh, I’m okay with this if he is going to be like Taysom Hill, but why not just go safe with the other talent

    Zach Maudie

    @Jekyll Hyde I get all that but they could have gotten hurts in round 4.

    Jekyll Hyde

    @Zach Maudie *I Don’t Think So…Hurts Is A Big Name With Big Stats That Did It On Two Huge College Teams And It Worked Out Amazing On Paper Right Now… Eagles Just Drafted Another Wr And Traded For Goodwin…3 Speedy WR’s In 3 Days…So That Makes Jalen The Legit Backup/Run/Pass Option Maker Now… Which Is Very Needed If You Knew One Of the Biggest Problems The Eagles Have Had Was Short Yardage…This Helps That Need A Lot.*

    Zach Maudie

    @Jekyll Hyde all the stuff I’ve heard where people talked to NFL GMs, they had him as a late 3rd early 4th. With 3 4th round picks, they could have moved up to the early 4th and got him then. Go watch literally anyone that covers the draft and they will tell you hurts is not a 2nd round pick.

    Jekyll Hyde

    @Zach Maudie *GM’s Lie Tho… Look At The Raiders They Drafted A CB In The First Rd That No One Had In The First Or Early Second Rd…He Wasn’t A Top 5 CB In The Draft…Eagles Had A Nice Gap Between Picks So They Took Hurts At The Right Time IMO..Plus Teams Were Being Greedy With Certain Draft Trades To Move Up So.*

    Zach Maudie

    @Jekyll Hyde GMs lie about players they are gonna take not players they don’t want. Nobody thinks that CB pick for the raiders is a good pick either lol so idk why you’d bring that up. They didn’t have a gap smh they clearly passed on players like Mims or Epenesa for a guy that was a 3rd to 4th round pick on probably everyone else’s draft boards

Shostopper 85

I’m excited for this kid and I’m glad he didn’t give those rotten reporters any bad news…

    P Bars

    Mostly Dumb questions

EvanSmith22

Poor guy doesn’t even know what to say. Clearly like us didn’t expect to get picked by the eagles and I feel terrible he won’t be able to start for awhile.

    Roberto Marx

    but he has an eagles hat when he got drafted lol. he knew

    ffemt66

    Taysom Hill just got paid. It’s the future of the NFL to have a multi faceted offensive tool impossible to scheme against. Let’s go!

    Manny Maldonado

    Wow he really didn’t say anything other than he’s blessed and ready to go to work. Literally nothing. Just cut the interview…

    undericesinger

    @Roberto Marx That same argument can be made for draft picks in the first 3 rounds.

    helicopter weewee

    @Daquan McDonald That’s what I’m saying. Like Mahomes/Alex Smith in KC. Let him watch and learn behind Wentz this year, and take over next year.

Funko MyLife

He definitely knows how to avoid questions lol…

    Max

    Funko MyLife I hope he avoid injuries just like that 😂

    Lanz22

    Saban taught him well.

    New Alchemy

    In his defense, what can he say? He didn’t expect this and clearly would love to be somewhere else. Who’s dream job involves working in a place you don’t want to be, where your direct co-worker really doesn’t want to work with you, and the drama will be off the charts?

Mj_tha3rd

So they couldn’t trade that second round pick to Atlanta to get Ceedee lamb because it would’ve prevented them of getting his college quarterback 🤣. Howie is a mad man

    Mike D

    Mj_tha3rd Howie is a donkey!

    Max

    Apparently they tried, but Atlanta refused

    Daquan McDonald

    Nobody like doing deals with Philly. Unless it’s a player they don’t want because he old asf or real injury prone.

    Joseph Vega

    They offered alanta a 1st and 4th next year an a 5th this year thats why they refused howie said he wasnt goving up tbis years 2 n 3rd

    Animelytical

    Trading a second to move up would be too much. They’d be able to get 2 receivers instead. Of course in this case, they went for one receiver and a back up utility QB. And if he plays well enough, he may hold value like Jimmy Garoppolo did

Ernesto Tejada

First of all it’s starts at 2:25 and secondly none of the picks should feel bad. It’s not their fault they were picked. The fan based wanted the Eagles to draft differently, we can’t always have what we want. 🤷

    WuKingdom1

    Stop. This isn’t a case of “they didn’t draft who we wanted” like the whole McNabb thing. This is a “none of this makes any sense” type of pick. There’s no logical reason for drafting a back up QB in the 2nd round when your franchise QB is 27 years old, just signed a huge extension, and is playing at a high level.

    Christopher Corsaro

    @WuKingdom1 exactly

K.L.

Jalen is a master of talking without saying anything

    Michael D

    “I’m just excited to be a part of the team!”

    Tyrell Smith

    This guy is not it.. He gone buckle in the NFL. What the eagles doing?!?

    John Omalley

    Tyrell Smith apparently they’re gonna use him like Taysom Hill

Emma Johns

I LOVE THIS PICK!!!WE NEEDED A SOLID BACKUP QB. FLY EAGLES FLY!!!

    Swaggmire215

Trey Anastasio

“surreal”. “blessed”. Every draftee apparently must use those words in post interviews, required by law.

OutsideMax

Answers all the questions already like a pro..at least that’s a good start.

Connall Strachan

yk i wasn’t the happiest with this pick but props to him for not falling for this social media bull

Rodney

Jalen is going to be great, I followed him at Bama and then to the Sooners. Eagles fans want be disappointed.

    John Omalley

    Rodney too bad he won’t start till Wentz retires by then he’ll be 32 himself

ZhangtheGreat

I’m going to wait and see what our plans are for him before making any judgments. I’ve learned plenty of times in the past not to judge a draft pick too soon.

bonzology

Should be a politician, he says absolutely nothing.

Matt w

“I’m only here so I wont get fined” hahaha I like this kid.

    Christian Albert

    That’s what I was thinking this entire interview!!🤣
