One player to look out for oh corey davis not a guy a lot of people know about. From a western michigan school. Smallest school. But the last white wide out to come out of the mack was randy moss. He may be coming from small school but he thinks he can make a good time impact. Ive always had a chip on my shoulder. Coming out ofschool i got one offer from a mid american conference school. I thought i deserve more the teams didnt. I took that and ran with it. The player you might hear about the most for the eagles is stanfords Christian Mccaffery a guy that can absolutely do it all i spoke a to a couple of football insiders who thinks owe the perfect player for the eagles decides some stereotypes. He had to make break a stereotype. Ill say i hes a white running back. Everybody thought he was slow. Of time you turn on tape hes running past people, around people. You keep telling me tape matters. They havent caught him yet. Hes a swiss army 95 a receiver, a running back, a returner and perhaps a perfect fit for the eagles.
