2021 NFL Draft prospect Josh Pederson is a 6'5", 235-pound tight end from the University of Louisiana Monroe. He is also the son of former Eagles Super Bowl winning head coach Doug Pederson.

Angelo Cataldi asked Josh what it would be like to get drafted by the Eagles.

"Would I get booed?" Pederson joked on Tuesday's 94WIP Morning Show. "Do you think I would get booed? It would make my day to be drafted by the Eagles or anybody, but going to Philadelphia would be super special. It'd be like getting drafted by any other team, it'd be great."

Pederson said his family has no animosity at all towards Carson Wentz, who is now with the Indianapolis Colts, but rather the contrary.

"No, not at all," Josh said when asked if his family is blaming Wentz for the way things unraveled in Philadelphia. "We loved Carson, back to 2017 when he was the season MVP in the running. You can't do anything but thank him. He was our franchise quarterback and he was a stud. It's hard to see us go and then now to see Carson go, it's just crazy how things played out there."

Josh also talked about his fond memories of watching his father win a Super Bowl for the Eagles and what it meant to his family.

"The best thing we can do is just remember back to the 2017 and think about he's the first [Super Bowl] winning head coach in Eagles history," Josh said. "You'll never be able to take the Super Bowl ring and trophy away, but unfortunately that's how the business goes and the Pederson family will move on from the Eagles.

"Best weekend of my life," Josh said of Super Bowl LII weekend in February of 2018. "The Saturday before and then the Sunday of the game. I was fortunate enough to stand on the sidelines for the entire game. Honestly, I think back to that weekend as one of the best weekends of my life and for our family. It's something that we'll remember forever."
