Max Iheanachor's Pro Day, Eagles' Tackle Hunt

0:00It's March 27. I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News Today, your AI-powered football briefing. NFL scouts are heading to Arizona State's pro day on Friday, with a big spotlight on offensive tackle, Max Ihanakor. The 6-foot-6, 320-pounder started football late, moving from Nigeria to the United States at age 13, and only picking up the sport in junior college back in 2021. Earlier this week, Alabama's Kaden Proctor turned heads at his pro day, and now Aya Nakor aims to follow suit. He's ranked number 31 on Daniel Jeremiah's top 50 prospects list, and the Philadelphia Eagles already chatted with him at the scouting. Combine, though no top 30 visit is set yet. Ihanakor's quick rise echoes Eagles' left tackle, Jordan Mayalada, who came from rugby in Australia and entered the league as a seventh-round pick. His athleticism and strong showings against tough competition have scouts buzzing about his potential as a first-rounder in a thin tackle class.

At Arizona State, keep an eye on receiver Jordan Tyson, ranked 21st overall, and versatile cornerback Keith Abney. Friday also brings pro days at Mississippi State, Florida State, Maryland, and Houston where a speedster Brennan Thompson could catch eyes despite his smaller frame. As draft season heats up, these workouts will shape plenty of big board moves.
