He is a speed rusher with a nice repertoire of pass rush moves who knows how to finish at the quarterback. In addition to his 16 sacks in 2024, Powell-Ryland had 9.5 sacks in 2023. Impressive production. Some highlights:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Powell-Ryland is undersized, but with good athleticism:\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Powell-Ryland will join a now-crowded edge rusher group that includes Nolan Smith, Jalyx Hunt, Azeez Ojuulari, Bryce Huff, and Josh Uche. There should be some good competition there in training camp.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Jimmy &amp; PhillyVoice on Twitter: <a data-original-title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JimmyKempski\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">@JimmyKempski<\/a>  |  <a data-original-title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thephillyvoice\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">@thePhillyVoice<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Like us on Facebook: <a data-original-title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/phillyvoicesports\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">PhillyVoice Sports<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Add <a data-original-title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.phillyvoice.com\/feed\/channel\/jimmy-kempski\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jimmy&#8217;s RSS feed<\/a> to your feed reader<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the 209th pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles selected Virginia Tech edge rusher\u00a0Antwaun Powell-Ryland.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2679,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2068],"tags":[25,1277,7,88,6,242,109,2476],"class_list":{"0":"post-2678","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-eagles","8":"tag-eagles","9":"tag-eagles-draft","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-philadelphia","14":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","15":"tag-philadelphiaeagles"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114406793187133533","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
