UPDATE: Ian Rapoport confirms the Eagles hosted Quincy Wilson in Philadelphia. Original story below.

It seems like the Eagles may have hosted Quincy Wilson on an official pre-draft visit in Philadelphia. The Florida cornerback prospect posted the following picture on his official Instagram account on Monday.

Assuming Wilson did meet with the Eagles, he’d be the ninth known defensive back to visit Philadelphia leading up to the 2017 NFL Draft. So we know the Eagles basically used at least one third of their top 30 visits on secondary players.

Wilson measures in at 6-1, 211 pounds. In three years with the Gators, he put up 81 tackles, 14 passes defensed, six interceptions, one defensive touchdown, one forced fumble, and one sack.

CBS Sports projects Wilson to be a Day 2 pick. He ranks 11th in BGN’s cornerback rankings.

Wilson has the size and athletic ability you want from a cornerback, but the lack of physicality he has despite his size is really frustrating. Wilson needs to prove he can be a physical player and succeed in situations where he isn't just covering number two receivers in college.

Though his physicality may be questioned, his confidence is not. Yahoo’s scouting report describes him as a “confident gambler” which seems like the type of aggressive mentality Jim Schwartz values in his cornerbacks (Leodis McKelvin, Jalen Mills). The Eagles obviously need cornerback help so maybe that’s the direction the team would look to go in the second or third round.

Wilson's athletic ability and use in college make him scheme versatile for the NFL. The Eagles, who like playing off coverage and use a lot of zone, would be a nice fit for him. While he may have a bit steeper of a learning curve coming away from playing primarily press man, he has shown versatility, so it is not a long term worry. Wilson can be coached up as a tackler and at the worst, he just ends up being a pure cover guy.
