The Eagles have a couple players who should hear their names called over the weekend, and a handful more who could sneak in or at the very least quickly signed as free agents. BC has seen players participate in all of the pre-draft hoopla from the Senior Bowl to the Combine, finishing up with a well represented Pro Day at Fish Field House. Today, we take a last look at defensive end Quintayvious Hutchins. **Year:** Fifth Year Senior, Bessemer, Alabama **Position**: EDGE **Measurables**: 6-4, 265 lbs **Draft Projection:** Day 3 / UDFA Hutchins has had a productive last two years on the Heights and was team captain this past season. Over the past two seasons, he’s had 67 tackles and 9 TFLs with 5.5 sacks. The Alabama native doesn’t have the most starting experience taking a backseat his first few seasons, he still has a well-developed game. This draft season, he had a strong week of practices at the Senior Bowl but left a little more to be desired at the NFL Combine. He mentioned he felt sore during the Combine, so he had a chance to end with some positive momentum at BC’s Pro Day. Unfortunately he only saw minor improvements, but did get a more unique interaction. With most NFL teams in attendance, Patriots Head Coach Mike Vrabel jumped into the ring with Q during his workout testing his hand placement and strength. It’s definitely an area Hutchins needs to improve, but he has a good get off and bend. Hutchins’ challenge is that he is undersized for an edge rusher. While he has the strength to make up for it and play bigger, it still means his measurables needed to be high end. He sets a good edge, has sound footwork, and plays faster than his numbers might indicate. His combine performance however put him in the lower end relative to other edge prospects. That being said, it was still a big deal to be among those invited especially in a highly touted edge class. ESPN’s latest 7-round mock had Hutchins going in the 7th Round to the Texans. Good luck, Q!
