00:01The Philadelphia Eagles are once again betting on upside over experience in the NFL draft.
00:07With the 251st pick, they selected defensive tackle UR Bernard, a player who has never played organized football.
00:21It might sound like a gamble, but it follows a blueprint that already worked.
00:26Eight years ago, the Eagles drafted Jordan Malata, a rugby player with no football background.
00:32He developed into a cornerstone, starting 85 games and earning second-team All-Pro honors in 2024.
00:38Now Philadelphia is taking another swing, hoping Bernard can follow a similar path to the NFL.
