- Eagles eye versatile WR Raja Nelson after private workout
Howie Roseman is always looking to add talent to the roster, and the Eagles hosted a private workout with North Dakota State receiver Raja Nelson, a versatile "Swiss Army knife" prospect who has also met with the Saints, Giants, and Vikings. Nelson totaled 28 catches for 404 yards and four touchdowns last season while contributing as a returner during NDSU's championship run.
In his final season with the Bison, Nelson participated in all 13 games, making nine starts as a wide receiver. Additionally, he carried the ball seven times for 14 yards, averaged 21.0 yards on eight kickoff returns, and had one punt return for six yards. Throughout the season, he caught at least one pass in 12 of the 13 games. Notably, he recorded a season-high of four receptions in consecutive games against South Dakota State and Youngstown State.
