Howie Roseman surprisingly opted for a conventional pocket passer with decent arm strength over more athletic QBs in the sixth round.

The Philadelphia Eagles kept the Quarterback Factory alive during the 2025 NFL Draft, drafting Syracuse QB Kyle McCord in the sixth round.

McCord didn’t meet much with the Eagles throughout the pre-draft process. He met with Philadelphia at the East-West Shrine Bowl and the combine but had just one Zoom meeting with the Eagles afterward. The lack of communication led McCord to not having the Eagles high on the list of teams he thought were most likely to draft him.
