The Eagles selected Philadelphia native and St. Joe's Prep graduate and Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord with pick 181 in the 2025 NFL draft

McCord was drafted by the Eagles, and his successor at Ohio State, Downingtown's Will Howard, was selected four picks later by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

McCord didn’t meet much with the Eagles throughout the pre-draft process. He met with Philadelphia at the East-West Shrine Bowl and the combine but had just one Zoom meeting with the Eagles afterward. The lack of communication led McCord to not having the Eagles high on the list of teams he thought were most likely to draft him.
