The Eagles have expressed their intention to get fifth-round quarterback Cole Payton playing this year. Despite Jalen Hurts starting, Tanner McKee backing him up and Andy Dalton recently arriving in a trade, the team believes Payton is too good a prospect to pass up. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni praised Payton's athletic ability and accuracy, as a starter at North Dakota State. He is also open to playing in any role he can.
