Paxton Lynch compares himself to this NF

[ymakerpi8d]

A year ago, Chip Kelly was still firmly entrenched as the ' coach and personnel guy ( even if, you know, he was), and he had determined that was the team's best option at quarterback.Bradford wasn't even replacement-level last season; he finished 24th in ' QB metric, just ahead of , and .But Bradford remains, even after owner Jeffrey Lurie fired Kelly during the final week of the 2015 regular season. How long Bradford hangs around is another matter. Last Jason Spezza Men Jersey week there were reports that the team was the draft's two top quarterback prospects: North Dakota State's Carson Wentz and Cal's Jared Goff.And on Wednesday, 's Adam Caplan tweeted that the the Eagles would have Wentz and Goff in for pre-draft visits, and do the same for Mi si sippi State quarterback Dak Prescott. The Eagles would also hold a private workout for another quarterback, Penn State's Christian Hackenberg. These developments come a week Travis Dermott Men Jersey after the Eagles Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch.The Eagles have the No. 8 pick in this month's NFL Draft, and it's reasonable to think that Wentz and Goff could be gone by then. It's why . What won't happen, however, is that the Eagles will take Alexander Kerfoot Men Jersey a running back that high."The talk of Philly moving up to get a quarterback was first mentioned to me at the combine," . "When they did move up, I figured it had to be for a pa ser. General manager Howie Roseman talked up running backs recently, but we know better about taking one that high in the draft order." Lynch is listed at 6-foo-7, 244 pounds, but has "elite foot quickne s," to use the scouting parlance. That separates him from other quarterbacks with power-forward size, and it's something he's addre sed during Bruce Boudreau Men Jersey the pre-draft proce s.Obviously seeing defenses a little more clearly, but I know the height difference will be a lot different in the NFL than it was in college, he said at February's combine, via . In the NFL, all those guys are just freaks. Theyre huge. s basically playing every position in the NFL. Those guys are so big. But I think having the height that I have, Im able to see the field a little bit easier than some guys that arent as tall. But the flip side of that is guys can see you just as easy.Funny Lynch mentioned Newton. , Newton's name up again Calvin Pickard Men Jersey . Paxton Lynch told me the player he compares himself to is Cam Newton. Eliot Shorr-Parks (@EliotShorrParks) The Eagles would happily welcome Newton 2.0, especially with the No. 8 pick, though we imagine some fans (read: those who think Newton is a spoiled baby) would feel differently. Whatever happens, this much seems clear: Bradford isn't long for Philly.
