Eagles’ DB coach in attendance at LSU’s pro day to get an up-close look at CB Derek Stingley Jr.

One of the biggest and most intriguing pro days will take place on Wednesday when LSU’s top prospects work out in front of scouts and coaches from all 32 NFL teams.

The biggest name on the marquee will be former freshman All-American cornerback Derek Stingley Jr.

During LSU’s 2019 national championship run, Stingley Jr. excelled with six interceptions and 15 pass breakups to solidify himself as the top cornerback in America and a future top draft pick.

Stingley Jr. has only played in 10 games over the last two seasons and he’ll enter the NFL with questions about his durability and motor.

With Philadelphia badly needing a cornerback opposite Darius Slay, the Eagles are among the teams that sent their defensive back coach to get an up-close look at Stingley Jr. on Wednesday.

Stingley Jr. is widely considered the best cornerback prospect available behind Cincinnati’s Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner and he’s a player that the Eagles and Howie Roseman will likely be watching at No. 9 or No. 10 overall if he’s still on the board.
