Howie Roseman referenced a band-aid when he was asked about the way the Eagles addressed the cornerback position last season. Jalen Mills was the only defensive back they drafted. Mills came from LSU by way of the Senior Bowl.

Led by Joe Douglas, the Eagles will likely select a cornerback in the 2017 NFL Draft. Douglas seemed to be impressed with another LSU cornerback at the Senior Bowl.

“Tre’Davious White, it’s always good when you wear No.18 at LSU,” Douglas said at the Senior Bowl on Wednesday. “We had a lot of success here with a guy that wore the same number in Bennie Logan. It takes a lot to earn the right to wear that number at LSU.

“He’s a leader. He’s been ultra productive. He’s tough as nails. He plays nickel, he plays outside, he has ball skills. You can stack his level of production up against any corner in this draft.”

Douglas is looking for mentally tough prospects that love to compete. They also want guys that were leaders on their team. White fits all of those traits. His position is one that requires a high level of mental toughness and athleticism.

“Corner is probably next to quarterback the toughest of all positions to play,” Douglas said. “It takes an elite level athlete. They are the best athletes in the world. It takes a high level of confidence. Those guys have to be able to shrug negative plays and bounce back like it didn’t happen.”

White is a confident player that possesses all of the traits that go into being a shutdown cornerback. He also brings value as a punt returner which is something else that Douglas said he likes in prospects.

Although he won’t play in the Senior Bowl game on Sunday due to a foot injury, White has already shown that he is worthy of an early pick.

Mills, a former teammate at LSU, gives White his stamp of approval. Maybe the two will be reunited in Philadelphia after the draft.
