NFL Draft: Eagles hosting three Penn State standouts at local pro day
Nick Dawkins, Nick Singleton, and Drew Shelton will be in attendance at the Jefferson Health Training Complex on Wednesday.
The Philadelphia Eagles are holding their 2026 local pro day today at the Jefferson Health Training Complex. This event will allow the team to evaluate several top prospects from colleges within a 50-mile radius. Penn State players who will attend include running back Nick Singleton , offensive tackle Drew Shelton, and center Nick Dawkins.

Still, having Singleton follow Barkley's footsteps from Penn State to Philly would be a fun story. Singleton rushed for a school-record 45 touchdowns during his collegiate career. “It would be crazy [to play for the Eagles].
I would love that,” said Singleton at the NFL Scouting Combine. “To stay home, play with Saquon, that would be really cool. ” Drew Shelton will likely be a Day 3 selection and could be an option for the Eagles, who need swing tackle depth.
