First, quarterback Clayton Thorson—the Eagles' fifth-round pick—joined the show. Thorson is a 23-year-old, 6'4", 225 pound quarterback from Northwestern. 

Thorson's father was a member of the Eagles for a few weeks in training camp and the offseason and played with Reggie White.

"(My dad) said he loved it when he was there (in Philly) and I know the fans are awesome, so you're gonna love that," Thorson said. 

Thorson said he's heard so much about Carson Wentz and Nate Sudfeld.

A few minutes later, wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside joined the show as well. Arcega-Whiteside was the Eagles' 57th overall pick (second-round). The 6'3", 225-pound wideout caught 63 balls for 1,059 yards and 14 touchdowns as a senior at Stanford last season. For a big receiver, Arcega-Whiteside can fly, running a 4.54 40-yard dash. His speed score of 107.4, which adjusts for heigh, is in the 87th percentile. He reminds many people of Alshon Jeffery. 

"He does a lot of great things that I need to learn to do, so I'm excited to be working next to him," Arcega-Whiteside said of Jeffery.
