The Philadelphia Eagles selected Joe Walker in the seventh round (251st overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft. His name may not jump off the page, but thanks to his speed and ability to produce on special teams, Walker is very much in the running for a roster spot this season.
Drafted out of Oregon, Walker led the Ducks with 87 tackles in 2015. In his three-year collegiate career, Walker accumulated 205 tackles, 16 tackles for a loss, 5 sacks and an interception.
It’s not hard to see where Walker fits in with this Eagles team.
