The Eagles search for a Quarterback is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. It’s been a busy few weeks for the birds who have worked out, met with and even dined with most of the top prospects heading into this year’s draft. Another name can now be added to that list.
#MissSt QB Dak Prescott has a predraft visit to #Eagles today, #Bills tomorrow, then #AZCardinals on Thursday. #Panthers loom, too.

Prescott was a name associated with the Eagles a couple of months ago but after a DUI incident almost a month ago, his stock has seemed to drop as questions regarding his maturity began to rise.
One thing that can’t be doubted however is his talent. The current mid-round prospect ended his final year at Mississippi State with 29 touchdowns, 3,793 yards and a 66.62% completion percentage. Partner that with 588 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns and you have a very athletic and intriguing prospect.
Prescott isn’t the only projected mid-round talent the Eagles have worked out. Kevin Hogan and Christian Hackenberg have also spent time with some of the most important people in the organization.
Seen as a player who has all the fundamentals but has to work heavily on his mechanics to become a starter in the NFL, Prescott could fit the Eagles need for a project Quarterback, but will he be able to prove himself a more worthy candidate than someone like Carson Wentz or Paxtyon Lynch?
