The Philadelphia Eagles have scheduled a top 30 visit with one of the best edge rushers from this year's 2025 NFL Draft class.
According to Bleacher Report's Thomas Peterson, the Eagles will host Boston College edge Donovan Ezeiruaku.
"Eagles use top 30 visit on BC edge Donovan Ezeiruaku. A no brainer if there are 32," Peterson wrote on X.
In four years at Boston College and 47 games, Ezeiruaku 47 games logged 47 tackles for loss, 21 sacks, and forced eight fumbles.
Perhaps what is most impressive is that 21 of those tackles for loss and 16.5 of those sacks came during his senior season at Boston College last fall.
One downside to Ezeiruaku is that he is smaller, weighing in at 6’2”, 248 pounds, but his playmaking ability makes up for it.
ESPN.com's Lance Zierlen quickly sums up everything Ezeiruaku has to offer in a scouting report:
Slightly undersized outside linebacker for a 3-4 front with long arms and plus athleticism. Ezeiruaku uses every bit of his length paired with aggression to mitigate size differences at the point of attack. He gets engulfed at times but typically separates from or slips blocks cleanly. He’s quick off the snap, using bend and agility to win at the top of the rush or make stops in the backfield. His hands exploit small advantages to turn them into big ones and he has a variety of ways to challenge protection, though he’s still learning to craft his plans. Ezeiruaku’s play demeanor, skill and athletic talent are the underpinnings of a productive starter with three-down value.
To add to his scouting report, one AFC national scout pointed out that while Ezeiruaku isn't incredibly explosive, he is very smart, and that is something Vic Fangio looks for in his defenders, regardless of talent.
After losing Brandon Graham and Josh Sweat this offseason, the Eagles are certainly in the market for more edge depth.
Ezeiruaku would be a solid pick for the Birds if he is still remaining on the board at No. 32 overall.
