D-Shiznit Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Was a top-25 national recruit after a sensational high school career at Oakland High School in Tennessee. Talent was there, wonder what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblah Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Stevens, a top-25 national recruit after a sensational high school career at Oakland High School in Tennessee, started one game at wide receiver (two receptions, 32 yards) as a true freshman, but also lined up at safety (no statistics) during his six appearances. Stevens moved to defense permanently in 2018, starting the final four games at safety (35 tackles, 6.5 for loss, with 1.5 sacks, one interception, five pass breakups in 11 games). Starting all 15 contests in 2019, his play (92 tackles, nine for loss, with five sacks, three interceptions, six pass breakups) helped the Tigers win a national title and earned him second-team All-SEC honors and three conference Defensive Player of the Week awards. Stevens started all 10 games for the Bayou Bengals in 2020, tying for the team lead with 63 tackles (six for loss with three sacks) while also breaking up four passes and tying for third in the FBS with three fumble recoveries. He switched to jersey No. 7, which was previously worn by future pros Patrick Peterson, Tyrann Mathieu, Leonard Fournette, D.J. Chark, and Grant Delpit, prior to his final collegiate season. Stevens accepted an invitation to the Senior Bowl. -- by Chad Reuter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proveagle Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Hard to tell without knowing more about the scheme they will run. Was kinda hoping for Dylan Moses or Thomas Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infam Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Quote Stevens toes the line somewhere between linebacker and safety at 6-foot-1 and 212 pounds. He is best utilized in a downhill role, either firing into the backfield to make plays against the run or being used as a blitzing weapon. He just doesn’t have the processing or movement skills to hold up in a deeper role. -pff.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had meeting with some small school oline men that I think are still out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManchesterEagle Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Bit undersized for a defensive tackle - but has a good shot to make the 10 man rotation. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowiesBroman Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Hoping they seem as a more of a LB/hybrid safety than a safety... would not want to see him deep ever. He could certainly be effective, however, in a 5-2-4 system or something similar as a middle roamer/lb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsdarkstar Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Love the play he made against Kyle Pitts. I think Eagles fans are going to love this kid. He can cover and blitz and hit and tackle. We haven't had a guy like that in a long time at Safety. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I don’t hate it. For a 6th it wasn’t a reach by any means. I think K’von Wallace is a better player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith and Gainwell will immediately contribute to the O. I think Milton will definitely be rotating in right away Week 1. And McPherson could very well win the CB2 competition. Landon hopefully doesn’t have to play much this year. Him, Tuipulotu, Jackson are all longer term depth. Smith and Gainwell alone gets me to an A- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Vic Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 He is a strong safety / undersized LB. Will hopefully work into rotation..or most likely Special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philafan4o8 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 He is a safety and can be a Kam chancellor type safety. He is a punisher. But he tried to go up in playing weight this past season and it didn’t work Out well. Has potential and that’s all you can ask for in day 3 picks.
