Eagles roster has more formerly unranked college prospects than 5-star recruits

A lot is made of a team’s makeup, and while plenty can change between high school and their NFL careers, the Eagles have compiled a team with a good number of former 5-star prospects mixed with guys who have developed into Pro Bowlers in their years since being college recruit.

Philadelphia has players on their roster who were top-rated quarterback prospects (Braxton Miller and Greg Ward) but ended up as wide receivers in the League. And guys like Lane Johnson, who was an 0-star quarterback out of high school and spent the early years of his college career playing in JuCO before transferring and changing positions.
