College scouts work tirelessly to prepare for the annual NFL Draft. They study film, and attend workouts, practices and games to learn all they can about prospects. They compile the information and present their suggestions to the team they work for.
That’s one way to choose which player to select. And then there’s how Eagles head coach Mike McCormack made the decision to pick Randy Logan in 1973. He asked tight end Charle Young, one of Philadelphia’s first-round selections, for his suggestion.
“They had asked Charle who he felt was the best strong safety that he played against in college,” said Logan, who was chosen in the third round.
