Eagles to face four of the top five picks in the 2022 NFL draft

The 2022 NFL draft is underway and not only did Philadelphia watch five targeted prospects go off the board, but they’ll face four of the five players during the 2022 regular season.

The NFL schedule is set to be released in mid-May, and the Eagles will in fact face Travon Walker, Aidan Hutchinson, Derek Stingley Jr., and Kayvon Thibodeaux during the 2022 season at some point.
