WR Prospect – D.J. Boldin

Posted on 31. Mar, 2009 by BirdsFan in Eagles Related

Not only do the Eagles have interest in Anquan Boldin, but they also have interest in his younger brother, D.J. Boldin. At 6′ 0″ 220 pounds, Boldin has a similar build as his brother and is known as a physical receiver just like big bro. In his senior year at Wake Forest, Boldin led the ACC in receptions ahead of such other ACC receivers as Hakeem Nicks and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Boldin doesn’t have the hype that Anquan did coming out of college and may get a lot of looks simply because of his brother. However, he does have something that Eagles receivers tend to lack and that is great size. I am unsure where Boldin is projected to go but I’m sure with all the picks the Birds have that they’ll have multiple cracks at him if they choose. Drafting younger Boldin may make the older Boldin more likely to want to play for the Eagles but I don’t see Anquan coming to Philly past draft weekend.
