NFL Draft Prospect: Kurtis Drummond, Safety From Michigan State

The NFL Draft season is officially here.

With the Senior Bowl this weekend, NFL teams are in Mobile, Alabama, scouting out the top college football prospects.

We are now under 100 days away, which means it's not too early to start explore and learn more about some of the players that could be available to the Philadelphia Eagles when they pick 20th in the NFL Draft.

As we approach the 2015 NFL Draft, it’s time for to find out more and more about the players who could be helping out the Eagles in 2015. Each week here on 973ESPN.com, I will feature a new a player from positions of need for the Eagles.

Depending on what the Eagles will want to do with their picks in this year’s version of the draft, by that point, I’ll have plenty of players that the Eagles may be interested in - not named Marcus Mariota.

With a heavy emphasis on the secondary, it’s only natural to start with a safety, one of the weaker positions in the 2015 draft.

From Scott Wright President of Draftcountdown.com on the Sports Bash:

"Kurtis Drummond is one of those guys who does everything pretty well, but nothing necessarily great. I think he is a little bit overrated, I have him as my overrated safety on my overrated/underrated list. I think he is somewhere in that third to fourth round range. "
