LSU Pro Day
Mar 27, 2008 Eagles Rumors
While many eyes focused on Glenn Dorsey at the LSU Pro Day yesterday (by all accounts, he looked good), there was another Tiger that turned in an outstanding day. One that might be interesting to the Eagles:
Doucet turned in a strong performance, catching every ball that was thrown in his vicinity. The All-SEC performer also shined in the individual drills, running a 4.56 second 40-yard dash and posting a 34 1/2-inch mark in the vertical jump.
Doucet said although he is pleased with his performance today, he would rather be judged by what he can do on the football field.
“The 40 [yard dash] is not really what makes a football player,” he said. “I’m a lot faster than I actually timed out. Playing the game of football, you’re not going to just run a straight line all day. I play a lot faster than I time.”
Doucet is 6 feet flat and a strong 215 pounds. He will likely be taken in the second round. If the Eagles pass on a wide receiver in the first round (which seems likely), they will almost certainly take one at some point in the middle rounds.

Update: Virginia Tech Pro Day is today. The Eagles have been linked to two players on the Hokies — offensive lineman Duane Brown and wide receiver Eddie Royal.
