Jeremiah Trotter Sr. knew this time would come since his son, Jeremiah Jr., was a 10-year-old. Trotter Sr., the Eagles Hall of Famer, four-time Pro Bowler and beloved linebacker, just admits with a bellowing laugh that he may be more anxious about the 2024 NFL Draft than Junior is.
Jeremiah Jr., a 6-foot, 230-pound two-year starting inside linebacker at Clemson, is being projected to be a second-day selection and could go anywhere from the middle of the second round, where the Eagles have the No. 50 and No. 53 picks, to the third round.
“We are hearing second round, third round, there have been a few teams saying fourth round, so it’s wide open depending on what teams it is,” said The Axe Man, an 11-year pro who played eight years with the Eagles and has remained in the Philadelphia area, living in South Jersey.
