Despite signing multiple defensive backs in NFL free agency this offseason, Eagles head coach Doug Pederson is on record for saying Philadelphia still wants to address the secondary. It makes sense, then, that the Eagles are reportedly hosting Alabama cornerback Cyrus Jones on a pre-draft visit in Philadelphia.

Jones measures in at 5-10, 197 pounds. He started his college football career with the Crimson Tide as a wide receiver. After recording four receptions for 51 yards as a freshman, Jones switched to cornerback.
