If you caught the East-West Shrine Game last year, you got to see future Eagles QB Mike Kafka lead a game-winning drive for the East when he found future Packers TE Andrew Quarless in the end zone with no time left on the clock. You might have also seen future Eagles DT/DE Daniel Te'o-Nesheim in that game as well.
This year's East-West Shrine Game will be this Saturday, and if history holds true, you're likely to see at least one future mid-round Eagle draft pick playing in that game. The Eagles have drafted at least one East-West Shrine Game participant in each of the last 4 years, some good, some bad:
Eagle drafted | Year | Round |
---|---|---|
Daniel Te'o-Nesheim | 2010 | 3 |
Mike Kafka | 2010 | 4 |
Fenuki Tupou | 2009 | 5 |
Quintin Demps | 2008 | 4 |
King Dunlap | 2008 | 7 |
Brent Celek | 2007 | 5 |
I requested credentials for the game (still pending), since the jerks at the Senior Bowl already denied me, although I'm not holding my breath.
