The city of brotherly love is welcoming in a DBU alum.
The Philadelphia Eagles picked former Tiger safety JaCoby Stevens in the sixth round, 224th overall, on day three of the NFL Draft.
It’s believed Stevens will be moving from safety to linebacker for the Eagles. In the 2017 draft, Philadelphia took Nate Gerry, then a safety out of Nebraska, and moved him to safety. Stevens is built along the same line as Gerry.
Stevens was a leader on and off the field for LSU. He of course wore LSU’s famed No. 7 jersey given to the team’s playmaker, and off the field he was the university’s choice for the SEC’s 2020 Community Service team.
