Alabama running back Josh Jacobs is one of 30 prospects from the 2019 NFL Draft to be hosted by the Eagles for a visit in Philadelphia, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Caplan. Caplan specifically notes Jacobs’ visit is expected to take place next week.
There’s been a lot of buzz that the Eagles could draft Jacobs. A few weeks ago, Geoff Mosher said: “Don’t be shocked if the Eagles take a running back in the first round. They really like Josh Jacobs.” Last week, Jason La Canfora said the Eagles are among the teams “very interested” in the 21-year-old runner.
