"The Philadelphia Eagles seemingly hosted 2019 NFL Draft prospects Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins and Ohio State wide receiver Parris Campbell on official visits this week. Wilkins posted a short video standing outside of Max’s Steaks on his Instagram on Sunday evening (hat tip to @travieboi2017). Campbell also posted an Instagram story update showing that he was in Philly (hat tip to @Afuentes710). Let’s take a closer look at these prospect.CHRISTIAN WILKINSWilkins is arguably one of the most popular targets for the Eagles at No. 25. The Clemson captain checks a lot of boxes in terms of versatility Timmy Jernigan Jerseys 2019 , production, talent, leadership, durability ... you name it. He also just happens to play a position that Philly could afford to address with a premium resource. Wilkins finished his four-year college career with 192 total tackles, 40.5 tackles for loss, 16 sacks, 15 passes deflected, and two forced fumbles. He was one of the most efficient pass rushers at his position last year:A rare knock against Wilkins is that he’ll turn 24 as a rookie so he’s on the older side as far as college prospects go. For context, Derek Barnett is about to enter his third NFL season and he’s still only 22. I’d imagine the Eagles would love to select Wilkins if he falls to them. He’d be a nice addition behind the starting duo of Fletcher Cox and Malik Jackson. We all know the Eagles love to rotate their d-linemen so Wilkins would get plenty of playing time in Jim Schwartz’s system. The question is if Wilkins will make it to where the Eagles can pick him. Some mock draft scenarios do have him falling to No. 25. Others project him often going in the teens. Here’s how five notable draft outlets have Wilkins ranked:Wilkins could be a trade up target if he ends up falling on draft day and Philly can jump up a few spots. Maybe the Eagles get lucky and he somehow makes it to No. 25. Probably not Black Chris Long Jerseys , though.Scouting report via NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein:Highlights:Spider graph via Mockdraftable:PARRIS CAMPBELLThe 21-year-old Campbell measures in just under 6-0 and weighs 205 pounds. He finished his Buckeyes career with 143 receptions for 1,768 yards (12.4 average) and 15 touchdowns. He also rushed 23 times for 210 yards and two scores. Campbell averaged a solid 30.4 average on 30 kick return attempts. Here’s a scouting report from Zierlein:Campbell could be an interesting piece for Doug Pederson to work with. Or he could be a frustrating addition if he’s merely replacing those ineffective, manufactured touches that we saw Golden Tate receive last year.In any case, Campbell is now the THIRD known slot receiver the Eagles have brought in for an official visit. It’s clear the team is doing their homework at that position. And it’s not exactly shocking given that Nelson Agholor is set to make $9.4 million this season without a contract extension in sight.

Pederson said that Wentz could play if the season started today, and the QB agreed that he feels ready to take a hit. He said he’s ready to play in the preseason, but that’s ultimately Pederson’s decision.It was also brought up that Wentz looked a little bit leaner, and he had talked during the spring about changing up his training and his diet. The quarterback admitted that he has leaned out a bit and “lost just a couple pounds” and feels good.On expectations and pressureThe quarterback also said that there’s always pressure, that’s the nature of the NFL, but they try and tune out all the outside noise and just focus on improving everyday. He said that the amount of pressure doesn’t really change the way he personally approaches things.Specifically he said that he’s not the kind of guy who would have let a lingering contract issue cloud what he does at work everyday Black Jordan Matthews Jerseys , and that it’s nice to have a new deal done ahead of the season, but it doesn’t really change his day-to-day approach.Wentz said everyday he’s just striving to get better, and he’s not the kind of guy to get complacent — with a Super Bowl ring and new big-money contract — and personally, he wasn’t on the field for the Super Bowl win so he wants to experience that, too.On the offensive talentWentz said that he’s excited for the deep ball threat that DeSean Jackson is, and the way that he takes pressure off for other guys and open things up underneath. Aside from his deep ball ability, the QB also appreciates Jackson’s ability to threaten defenders in new ways. He said he’s never played with someone who has that kind of speed, so he’s excited.He talked about how the talent level from this year’s roster is among the most talented he’s played with, but that they still have a lot of work to do. Wentz echoed what Pederson said Jordan Matthews Jerseys 2019 , in that talent will only get them so far, and they need to come together as a team and build a solid foundation.Wentz also noted that it’s huge to have so many offensive players healthy right now on Day 1, and able to establish the chemistry and rhythms they’ll need as they get closer to the season. The quarterback joked that no one is trying to lobby to get more passes... yet — but he doesn’t think that will be an issue with this selfless group of players.He also noted that “it’s awesome” to have Darren Sproles back with the team. Wentz said that his relationship with Nate Sudfeld, as he moved up to No. 2 in the depth chart, hasn’t really changed. They have a great relationship and trust within the quarterback room, so that’s stayed pretty much the same.On relationshipsThe quarterback talked a bit about the trip he took this summer with his receivers, and said they had a good few days of throwing and hanging out in Texas.Similar to his rapport building with his teammates, Wentz said that his relationship with Doug Pederson has grown over the years and it’s also a friendship that goes beyond just the Xs and Os. That kind of communication means a lot to him.
