Eagles may have found a hidden gem in UDFA Joshua Weru

Yahoo Sports

The Philadelphia Eagles may have landed another intriguing international prospect in Joshua Weru, a raw but explosive talent with elite traits and long-term upside.

The spotlight has been fixed on one name, but he isn't the only one worth watching. When the Philadelphia Eagles added Uar Bernard through the International Player Pathway Program , the buzz was immediate. It was also justified.

His size, story, and athletic profile made him one of the most intriguing additions of the entire draft weekend. Quietly, however, Howie Roseman and his staff may have found another gem. Joshua Weru didn't hear his name called during any of the seven rounds, but make no mistake.

The Eagles made sure he landed exactly where they wanted him. In many ways, his profile is just as fascinating. Weru isn't built like Bernard, but he's leaner, faster, and more explosive in space.

A former rugby player for Kenya's national team, Weru brings traits that jump off the page. He has elite speed and physicality. He's the owner of a relentless motor.
