Some of the same questions get asked every year, of every player drafted. Reporters gather around a speakerphone, and team media-relations staffers connect them with the giddy young man who has just been announced as the newest Eagle.
If it isn’t the first-round pick, who sometimes is on camera at the draft site when the choice is made, one of the questions is: “What were you doing when you got the call?”
Most of the time the player says he was watching the draft. Often he is celebrating with friends and family.
Then there was Daniel Te’o-Nesheim, a defensive end from the University of Washington who became the 86th overall selection of the 2010 draft when the Eagles selected him in the third round.
