| 0:00.0 | All right, Fran Duffy, our all-city NFL expert, close to our hearts. We love the man. He is here to give us a little Senior Bowl preview for the Eagles. And he is on the scene, Bo and E.J. Smith here. And it's Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, the practices. We're recording this before the first day of practice, Fran. And I think we all agree from the Eagles perspective, we want to focus offense to start here because they need to flip that side of the ball, get a little bit of an |
| 0:24.6 | infusion of youth there. And there are four players on the rosters at the Senior Bowl who are |
| 0:29.7 | in your top 50 on the Fran Duffy NFL draft guy, which you can read on LPHY.com if you |
| 0:36.1 | become a diehard, a little plug for you. |
| 0:38.1 | On the offensive side of the ball, let's start with the three offensive linemen, and it begins |
| 0:43.3 | with Arizona State's Max Ihanachore. |
| 0:47.6 | Very nice. Very nice landing there on the name. Yeah, I would say Maxihanature is probably one of the the one of my favorite, like high upside swings in this draft, regardless of position and very much an Eagles type of profile. |
| 1:02.9 | Born in Nigeria, moved to L.A., moved to California just before high school. |
| 1:07.1 | Basketball was his first love. |
| 1:08.6 | He was a basketball player like all growing up all through high school, |
| 1:11.2 | didn't play football until he got to junior college. He went to Los Angeles College and that's when he first put the pads on for the first time. So that first year in 2021, all right, like he's learning how to put on his cleats and put on his pads and all that. He's practicing. Did not play in a game. then he becomes a starter for the first time in 2022. |
| 1:28.7 | Immediately a four-star recruit coming out of junior college. |
| 1:31.2 | He had a bunch of big-time offers ended up committing to Arizona State. Played mostly as a backup in 2023 for the Sun Devils, but then became a starter full-time in 2024, did the same thing in 2025. He's a right tackle by trade. But guys, he is a |
| 1:45.9 | ridiculous athlete. When you talk about like physical specimens, great athlete, very efficient |
| 1:50.5 | out of a stance, explosive trade 6-6, 325 pounds. I'm excited to get the official measurements |
| 1:55.6 | from him here in Mobile. But if you're talking like, you know, overall skill, like yeah, like he's got got he needs technical refinement. There are things that he's got, I have to work on still very green to the position, only three years really of playing the sport. But if he comes down here and has a big week of practice, he's a guy I think you're going to start hearing about in the, the latter stages of round one, which is obviously where the Eagles are picking, because you're talking 6-6-325 with unique athleticism. |
| 2:21.0 | If he has a big week, that would be big for his draft stock. |
| 2:23.7 | Now, Eagles fans will know this, but they have a track record of targeting what Jeff Stoutland |
| 2:28.2 | would call unusual players, you know, with elite athletic traits. |
| 2:32.1 | And, you know, I feel like the Eagles also just love a guy who got to football late, you know, with elite athletic traits. And, you know, I feel like the Eagles also just |
| 2:34.7 | love a guy who got to football late, you know, that development curve. So definitely a name that Eagles |
| 2:39.6 | should, Eagles fans should keep an eye out for there. And friend has that tackle guard flex that you |
