Related Topics: Eagles (band), Phil Savage

MOBILE, Ala. - Joe Douglas doesn't just look like a football guy, he talks like one.

The Eagles' vice president of player personnel can articulate his scouting philosophy and the type of players he's looking for - smart, tough, and passionate about football - but he truly shines when he discusses individual prospects.

Fed a name, Douglas will go into great detail about size, statistics, skills, and background. He spouts off that Eastern Washington wide receiver Cooper Kupp had nearly 800 yards receiving against Division I-A competition. He stresses the significance of wearing the No. 18 at LSU - as cornerback Tre'Davious White did for the Tigers.
