Eagles host 3 more players on pre-draft visits

It’s time to add some more prospects to Bleeding Green Nation’s Philadelphia Eagles’ pre-draft visits tracker leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft.

Today is actually the last day that prospects can do in-person visits with teams.

That doesn’t necessarily mean the updates to our tracker are over, however, since there’s still time to find out about visits that may have already happened.

In any case, the latest visitors to the NovaCare Complex:

Minnesota CB Justin Walley (source: Jeff McLane)

Navy S Rayuan Lane III (source: Jeff McLane)

Syracuse RB LeQuint Allen (source: LeQuint Allen’s Instagram)

Lane counts as a local visit (and thus not towards the 30 limit), according to McLane. One would presume Allen would also count as a local visit considering he’s a Millville, New Jersey resident.

Let’s sort through this news on a player-by-player basis.

JUSTIN WALLEY

Walley is projected to be a late Day 3 pick.

The 22-year-old made 42 starts in 49 games played at Minnesota from 2021-2024. He had pretty good ball production there with 27 passes defensed, seven interceptions, and three forced fumbles.

Walley only played 62 snaps as a slot cornerback in college but there’s thought that his lack of size and length will have teams viewing him as a nickel option.

The Eagles have previously brought in some backup slot-type cornerbacks for pre-draft visits.

RAYUAN LANE III

Lane is projected to a seventh-round pick or priority free agent by his NFL.com scouting report page. If he does get selected, he’ll be the first Navy player drafted since 2020.

The 21-year-old defensive back made 43 starts in 49 games played for the Midshipmen from 2021-2024. He logged 244 total tackles, 21 passes defensed, eight forced fumbles (!), and seven interceptions during that span.

The Eagles could afford to add some more depth at safety and Lane could be worth taking a flier on.

LEQUINT ALLEN

Allen is the No. 245 prospect ranked by Pro Football Focus.

The 20-year-old played at Syracuse from 2022-2024. During that span, he logged 514 carries for 2,359 yards (4.6 average) and 26 touchdowns. He also had 119 catches for 848 yards (7.1 average) and six touchdowns.

Allen also threw a 33-yard touchdown pass:

And he even has some returning experience, albeit limited (five punt returns for 91 yards and two kick returns for 49 yards).

The Eagles are obviously set with Saquon Barkley as their top running back but the depth behind him is unproven. The team seems high on Will Shipley as Kenny Gainwell’s replacement but he still needs to cement himself. AJ Dillon could conceivably be a nice backup but it’s also possible he doesn’t even make the regular season roster. Allen could compete for a role as RB2 or RB3.
