With the 224th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select ... JaCoby Stevens, linebacker, LSU! [Note: The broadcast announced him as a safety but the Eagles are officially listing him at linebacker.]
Stevens is a hybrid defender who actually began his college football career at wide receiver. Interesting tweener type to take a chance on later during Day 3. Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon must have a role envisioned for him.
Stevens is in a precarious position as either an undersized linebacker with just average toughness at the point of attack or an oversized safety lacking instincts and coverage speed.
