Yahoo Sports NFL on Cole Payton

Payton threw TD, showed mobility; could compete for QB3 role in preseason.

Cole Payton was a breath of fresh air in the preseason game, showing immediately evident mobility with big gains on scrambles and designed runs, including plays where he brushed off contact. His highlight came on a play where he extended with his feet, kept his eyes up, and found a receiver in the back of the endzone for the Eagles' lone touchdown. The source notes the Eagles backup quarterback situation is one to monitor, with trade rumors swirling about Tanner McKee, and suggests Payton could continue to get long looks in preseason games to play himself into the QB3 spot.
