STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Dual-threat fifth-rounder could see multi-position usage like Taysom Hill.

Fifth-round dual-threat QB from North Dakota State known for arm and leg ability; lefty QB compared to Taysom Hill in pre-draft process; Eagles will track his progress as a quarterback in camp and evaluate whether he'll be used in other roles.
