Eagles host 3 more players on pre-draft visits

It’s time to add some more prospects to Bleeding Green Nation’s Philadelphia Eagles’ pre-draft visits tracker leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft.

Today is actually the last day that prospects can do in-person visits with teams.

That doesn’t necessarily mean the updates to our tracker are over, however, since there’s still time to find out about visits that may have already happened.

In any case, the latest visitors to the NovaCare Complex:

Lane counts as a local visit (and thus not towards the 30 limit), according to McLane. One would presume Allen would also count as a local visit considering he’s a Millville, New Jersey resident.

Let’s sort through this news on a player-by-player basis.

JUSTIN WALLEY

Walley is projected to be a late Day 3 pick.

The 22-year-old made 42 starts in 49 games played at Minnesota from 2021-2024. He had pretty good ball production there with 27 passes defensed, seven interceptions, and three forced fumbles.

Walley only played 62 snaps as a slot cornerback in college but there’s thought that his lack of size and length will have teams viewing him as a nickel option.

The Eagles have previously brought in some backup slot-type cornerbacks for pre-draft visits.

Scouting report via NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein:

Highly experienced cornerback with good size, speed and ball production. Walley has good mirror-and-match footwork in the early stages of the route but needs to trust his technique instead of using his hands in coverage so often. He keeps close tabs on quarterbacks and pounces on short throws with authority. He’s irritating at the catch point but can be bodied by big targets. He’s willing in run support but will need to improve his finishing against bigger runners. Walley played an overwhelming majority of his snaps outside, but he could be destined to slide inside due to a lack of length.

RAYUAN LANE III

Lane is projected to a seventh-round pick or priority free agent by his NFL.com scouting report page. If he does get selected, he’ll be the first Navy player drafted since 2020.

The 21-year-old defensive back made 43 starts in 49 games played for the Midshipmen from 2021-2024. He logged 244 total tackles, 21 passes defensed, eight forced fumbles (!), and seven interceptions during that span.

The Eagles could afford to add some more depth at safety and Lane could be worth taking a flier on.

Scouting report via NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein:

A mainstay of the Navy defense, Lane roams the field with ball-hawking instincts and an impressive special teams résumé. Lane lacks length but is well-built and moves fluidly in space. He does a nice job of reading quarterbacks and getting early jumps on the throw from his zone perch but will occasionally allow the action to get behind him when he lingers with his eyes. He plays ready football in run support but needs to improve his pacing and technique as an open-field tackler. Lane has enough talent to land as a backup safety and will likely stand out as a gunner on special teams.

LEQUINT ALLEN

Allen is the No. 245 prospect ranked by Pro Football Focus.

The 20-year-old played at Syracuse from 2022-2024. During that span, he logged 514 carries for 2,359 yards (4.6 average) and 26 touchdowns. He also had 119 catches for 848 yards (7.1 average) and six touchdowns.

Allen also threw a 33-yard touchdown pass:

And he even has some returning experience, albeit limited (five punt returns for 91 yards and two kick returns for 49 yards).

The Eagles are obviously set with Saquon Barkley as their top running back but the depth behind him is unproven. The team seems high on Will Shipley as Kenny Gainwell’s replacement but he still needs to cement himself. AJ Dillon could conceivably be a nice backup but it’s also possible he doesn’t even make the regular season roster. Allen could compete for a role as RB2 or RB3.

Scouting report via NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein:

Allen is a versatile back with adequate size and speed. He’s decisive and gets what he can on most carries but lacks burst, imagination and contact force to create on his own. He’s a reliable pass-catching option with natural hands and an ability to run routes and find yards after the catch. His pass-protection willingness and execution stands out against others in this class. Allen’s ability to cover kicks and return punts adds to his value as a potential Day 3 pick who could compete for a role as a third-down option.
