With the 51st pick in the 2nd round the Eagles selected Cam Jurgens, making him the first Husker to be drafted in the 2022 NFL Draft. Jurgens is the first Husker to be drafted in the second round since Ameer Abdullah was taken by the Lions in the 2015 NFL Draft. Jurgens is also the highest drafted lineman at Nebraska since Toni Fonoti was taken in the 2nd round of the 2002 NFL Draft.
Jurgens is a perfect fit with the Eagles who love to have athletic lineman for their draft. Philadelphia already has Jason Kelce at center who is one of the best in the NFL.
