Mac McWilliams doesn’t need the hype or the headlines cast upon countless other prospects. He needs a shot to shine at the next level.
Tabbed by Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman with a fifth-round selection in this past draft, he has his shot - and he’s arrived laser-focused to maximize the opportunity at hand.
“Everyone is here (The NFL) for a reason. I know I have to bring it every day, every minute of every day. I want to raise my game every day,” the former UCF standout told PhiladelphiaEagles.com's Dave Spadaro.
McWilliams' background and where he fits into the Eagles' defense
With the addition of McWilliams, the Eagles have added a fourth recent draft pick to the secondary in the past two drafts, as Philly struck gold with the duo of Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean a year ago, before adding second-round Texas safety Andrew Mukuba and McWilliams in the fifth round this past draft.
