Eagles Eyeing Boerkircher for Future Tight End

0:00It's March 30th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Texas A&M Titan Nate Boer Kircher is drawing interest from the Eagles ahead of the 2026 NFL draft. This 6-foot-5, 245-pound prospect has a 30-visit lined up at their Jefferson Health training complex. He's seen as a versatile player in a draft class full of Titan talent. Boer Kircher started as a walk-on at Nebraska before transferring to Texas A&M for the 2025 season. His stats were solid, but not flashy. 19 catches for 198 yards and 3 touchdowns. Still, Scouts love his blocking skills and potential as a receiver with good hands and a big catch radius. The Eagles are shifting to a wide-zone run game under new offensive coordinator Sean Manion, who brings experience from Shanahan and McBase systems. Boer Kircher fits right in as an in-line blocker who can seal edges, plus he adds receiving upside down the road.

1:01Philadelphia doesn't need a star tied in right now with Dows go dirt back for year 9, but they want a successor. Their current depth includes receiver Grand Calcuttaire, blocker Johnny Munt, and some young guys like Stone Smart and E.J. Jenkins. A day 3 pick like Boer Kircher could lock in that future without burning early draft capital, letting the Eagles build elsewhere while setting up. They're tied in room for the long haul.
