The NFL draft is in two weeks, marking the yearly tradition of putting all my hopes and dreams upon the shoulders of people who aren’t even old enough to rent a car. While you’ve been bombarded with mock drafts and big boards since February, I’m here to offer an alternative approach to the draft season. I will evaluate draft prospects who have ties to the greater Philadelphia area based on how Philly they are (From Here Rating).
This is not a ranking of how good each player will be in the pros. I’m not going to pretend that I know anything about scouting FCS football players. There’s nothing a Philadelphian loves more, however, than an athlete from Philly because they can live vicariously through those players. Taking into some biographical and background info, here are my cheesesteak-based grades on a few prospects from the region and how they could find their way to the Eagles:
Nasir Adderley, safety, Delaware
Hometown: Philadelphia
High school: Great Valley…
