The NFL draft starts in Mobile, and even with the Eagles preparing to face the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, all eyes this week will be on Alabama, for the 2023 Reese’s Senior Bowl.
The Eagles are no strangers to targeting small school players in the NFL draft and the results have mostly been positive.
Philadelphia used the 2016 Senior Bowl to analyze Carson Wentz and Howie Roseman used the No. 2 pick on the former North Dakota State star.
Dallas Goedert, Todd Herreman, Jeremiah Trotter, and Brian Westbrook also make the list.
With kickoff from Mobile quickly approaching, here are seven small school prospects to watch at the Senior Bowl on Saturday.

The talk of the day today was Curtis McClendon from Chattanooga. Can clearly see why when he’s parting the Red Sea like Moses.
Chattanooga is a small school, but they produced a first round iOL last year in Cole Strange. pic.twitter.com/EFlTUMKrh3

A nice week in Mobile from Sacramento State LB/S Marte Mapu (CC: @DianteLeeFB).
Was faster than all the LBs on the field Tuesday. He’s also been the most explosive LB/S here per the GPS.
6-2, 217, 33 3/8 arms 📈📈📈

Didn’t talk about him a lot, but Darrell Luter Jr. from South Alabama is one to watch for the Rams. Small CB, but plays bigger than his size. Had a few nice reps this week. pic.twitter.com/Ca7OxjQkAo

Tyson Bagent, Shepherd
A talented strong-arm quarterback, Bagent has put himself on the NFL radar by dominating Division II competition over his four-plus seasons at Shepherd University, just east of Bagent’s hometown of Martinsburg, West Virginia.
All 32 NFL teams have visited Shepherd over the last year to see the prolific quarterback sling it first-hand.
“The all-time leader in touchdown passes across college football, Tyson Bagent knows how to push the ball upfield and find small windows to exploit in all kinds of defenses.” 🎯
