Posted April 29, 20214 yr NFL draft rumors: Asante Samuel Jr. is a name to watch for the Eagles Glenn Erby April 29, 2021 12:41 pm The Eagles have a need at cornerback and the son of one former Philadelphia star could be just what the doctor ordered. According to Stacey Dales of the NFL Network, Caleb Farley and Asante Samuel Jr. are two names to watch if Philadelphia trades down in the first round, potentially targeting those two players. New Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon is expected to deploy a lot of zone coverage in his scheme. Samuel, like his father, projects better in a zone scheme and could become a ballhawk in the NFL by utilizing his elite vision at the position. He’s also extremely versatile and during the Seminoles’ matchup with Florida, Samuel spent a ton of time on Kyle Pitts. https://theeagleswire.usatoday.com/2021/04/29/nfl-draft-philadelphia-eagles-asante-samuel-jr-second-round/
April 29, 20214 yr Samuel is a slot corner though? Which I thought the team believed Maddox could be a really good slot corner? I know we just need young talent and I like Samuel but what would this mean for Maddox? As long as he's not on the outside I guess I don't really care.
