![]() The same, fortunately, or not could be said for the emergence of out-of-nowhere tight end prospect Tyree Jackson, who went from (University of) Buffalo quarterback, to Buffalo (Bills) quarterback, to XFL quarterback, before finally landing with the Philadelphia Eagles in an attempt to switch positions and try his hand at a skills position.Īssuming Jackson is with the Eagles this fall, either from beating Richard Rodgers outright for the TE3 spot, as a bottom-of-the roster stash, or on the practice squad, that doesn’t leave room for Hakeem Butler, another tight end project who isn’t quite ready for prime time. While his impressive play is obviously fantastic for both the player and the team, it comes at the expense of both Michael Jacquet and Craig James, who are both competing for a depth role on the outside. ![]() Take, for example, the recent emergence of Zech McPhearson, the Eagles’ fourth-round pick who, by all accounts, is off to a fantastic summer and would probably be the team’s first starter off the bench if either Darius Slay or Steven Nelson suffered an injury. In the NFL, when one player shocks the world and flies up a depth chart, it almost always comes at the expense of someone else.
