Kenny Pickett is fulfilling a childhood dream with his new team.
The New Jersey native was reportedly dealt to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday alongside a fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft in exchange for a 2024 third-round pick and two seventh-round picks in 2025.
Philadelphia moves down from 98 to 120 in the upcoming draft and also loses the two late-round picks, but add Pickett, who was a first-round pick in 2022 and has starting experience, as a backup behind Jalen Hurts.
Pickett appears to be excited at the change of scenery, as he posted a photo on Instagram of him unwrapping a Donovan McNabb Eagles jersey on Christmas when he was a child.
