The Eagles selected Kyle McCord as Jalen Hurts’ backup in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and observers were surprised that it was not Will Howard. After the first two days of the draft being dominated by Shedeur Sanders’ surprising slide out of the top three rounds, many people forgot about the Ohio State quarterback.
He is a national champion and was often thought to be a pick that would go on the second day of the 2025 NFL Draft. Yet, he kept dropping, and nothing was more surprising than Kyle McCord getting drafted by the Eagles before him. Will Howard is also from Downingtown, just outside Philadelphia.
Fans immediately took to X/Twitter to express their surprise, and here are some of the samples from the social media platform.
