Eagles bring in 2 potential Draft-Day steals for Top-30 visits

With the NFL Draft quickly approaching, the Eagles continue to dig deep into this year’s prospect pool, recently bringing in two intriguing names for official top-30 visits: South Carolina defensive tackle T.J. Sanders and Ole Miss cornerback Trey Amos.

Both players are considered legitimate Day 1 or early Day 2 targets, and their visits only add fuel to the fire as Philadelphia strategizes around their first and second-round selections

Eagles Eye Reinforcements in the Trenches with T.J. Sanders Visit

T.J. Sanders, ranked as the No. 38 overall prospect by Pro Football Focus, spent four seasons developing at South Carolina and appeared in 39 games, earning 16 starts. He totaled 18 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks in his college career — impressive production that speaks to his disruptive ability on the interior.

At just 21 years old, Sanders profiles as a potential long-term piece on the defensive line. With Milton Williams now out of the picture, the Eagles could be looking to restock the interior rotation behind Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter. Notably, Sanders is only the second known defensive tackle to take a top-30 visit with Philly, suggesting legitimate interest from the front office.

While Sanders has appeared in some mock drafts as a fringe first-round pick — including at No. 32 — he could be an ideal target if the Eagles trade back slightly and look to add capital while still securing a high-upside defensive lineman.

Cornerback Depth Remains a Priority with Trey Amos on Philly’s Radar

Trey Amos, ranked No. 32 by PFF and No. 42 by Daniel Jeremiah, is a veteran college player who has taken a winding but impressive path to the NFL. After three years at Louisiana, Amos transferred to Alabama for the 2023 season before finishing his collegiate career at Ole Miss in 2024.

Across 61 career games, mostly played on the outside, Amos racked up 31 pass breakups, four interceptions, and two forced fumbles. His size, experience, and versatility make him a strong candidate to bolster any secondary — even one as deep as the Eagles’.

Philadelphia already has young corners with Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, but the front office has clearly made scouting the 2025 cornerback class a priority. Whether at pick No. 32, or early in Round 2, Amos could be a name to watch closely as draft weekend approaches.

How These Visits Shape the Eagles’ Draft Strategy

Bringing in both Sanders and Amos highlights the Eagles’ focus on long-term depth and future starters at two critical positions: defensive tackle and cornerback. Neither player would be considered a major reach at the end of the first round, and both bring the kind of high-upside traits Philly has prioritized under Howie Roseman.

With multiple positions of need and the potential to trade back, the Eagles have the flexibility to move around the board and still land premium talent. These visits suggest Sanders and Amos are firmly in the mix if the board breaks the right way.
