Eagles drafted International Pathway Program EDGE Uar Bernard with the No. 251 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Bernard (6'4/306) is a 1-of-1 athlete from Nigeria, but one with vanishingly little football experience. Per NFL.com, Bernard has “not played organized football, but he displayed a rare blend of size, length and explosiveness at the IPP pro day in March.” He blazed a 4.63 40 to go along with an otherworldly (for his size) 39-inch vertical. He broad jumped out of the building. He’s a moon shot pick by an Eagles team that always loves to bet on talent. Bernard will spend 2026 developing on the practice squad then see what happens for 2027.
