With the 218th overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Eagles select Oregon St. CB Jordan Poyer. An under-rated athlete, Poyer has the tools to cover any receiver well in different coverages. When he stays focused on his footwork/technique he can backpedal quickly and is able to transition and close fast on passes in front of him. He is willing to play physical with receiver and can re-route receiver to throw off timing between receiver and quarterback. Naturally instinctive and aware, Poyer reads the QB/Pass well and closes quickly in time to use his good ball skills to break up passes. Willing to come upfield to make tackles in run support and on passes in front of him, Poyer can be a strong and physical wrap-up tackler when he stays under control and over his feet.
