Two years ago, the Eagles selected in the fifth round out of TCU. Offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland developed him and Vaitai has started 16 regular-season games thus far. Vaitai was the starter at left tackle when the Eagles won Super Bowl LII.
The Eagles went back to the TCU well once again Saturday choosing Vaitai's former teammate Matt Pryor in the sixth round with the 206th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.
"He helped me out in catching the ropes, being a freshman in college, making that transition especially coming from California and moving to a new state," Pryor said.
