STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Dual-threat fifth-rounder could fill multiple roles beyond QB in Eagles offense.

Fifth-round dual-threat QB from North Dakota State; lefty with strong arm and leg ability. Compared to Taysom Hill in pre-draft process. Eagles will track his QB progress in camp and evaluate whether he fills any other offensive role beyond the position.
