The Eagles are searching for the next Cooper, and the franchise&#8217;s star quarterback, Jalen Hurts, and star wide receiver DeVonta Smith might have someone to keep in mind.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5n\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mikegarafolo\/status\/2045554935299784714\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">NFL insider Mike Garafolo<\/a> shared a story of Hurts and Smith recently working out at Temple as they joined Owls wide receiver Kajiya Hollawayne for a workout. Hollawayne went for 489 yards and six touchdowns last season at Temple, as he is projected as a late Day 3 pick or undrafted free agent in the draft.<\/p>\n<p>Could Kajiya Hollawayne be the sleeper pick Eagles are looking for in 2026?<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5t\">Hollawayne is an interesting prospect for the Eagles, as he is local since he went to Temple in Philly, so that&#8217;s a big advantage for the team to have him in their backyard. He also put up some nice numbers in his offseason workouts to improve his chances of being selected.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5w\">During his Pro Day workout, Hollawayne ran a 4.45-second 40-yard dash with a vertical of 36.5&#8243; and a 10-foot, 6-inch broad jump. His 6-foot-4 frame shows that he&#8217;s got great speed for his height and could be an intriguing receiver for the Eagles to pick.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5z\"><a href=\"https:\/\/insidetheiggles.com\/howie-roseman-responded-exactly-how-philadelphia-eagles-fans-thought-with-aj-brown-question\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A.J. Brown is more than likely going to get traded<\/a> in the next few months, and the Eagles have been loading up at the wide receiver position with Marquise &#8220;Hollywood&#8221; Brown, Elijah Moore, and Dontayvion Wicks being added in the last month. Hollawayne could be the next one added, as the Eagles are still expected to add a wide receiver in the draft.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"62\">Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/insidetheiggles.com\/philadelphia-eagles-reportedly-met-with-defender-at-school-that-howie-roseman-always-targets-cj-allen-georgia\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eagles reportedly met with defender at school that Howie Roseman always targets<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"65\">The Eagles are trying to get younger on offense, and adding Hollawayne would help them do that while bringing in potentially great talent.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow insidetheiggles.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=insidetheiggles.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One big thing the Philadelphia Eagles would love to be able to do in the 2026 NFL Draft&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":869978,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2068],"tags":[25,7,6,242,109,2476],"class_list":{"0":"post-869977","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-eagles","8":"tag-eagles","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-philadelphia","12":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","13":"tag-philadelphiaeagles"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869977","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=869977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/869978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=869977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=869977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=869977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
