This Ducks LB allows Eagles fans to forget about past nightmares from Oregon

When considering the past fortunes, or misfortunes, of Oregon linebackers who have suited up for the Philadelphia Eagles through the years, fans might be rightfully gun-shy when it comes to the franchise pulling the trigger on more Ducks at the position.

To put it very lightly, Casey Matthews never panned out. Meanwhile, fellow Oregon linebacker Kiko Alonso drew plenty of ire when he arrived via that mind-numbing move during the nightmare-inducing Chip Kelly era, as LeSean McCoy was jettisoned for yet another undersized linebacker hailing from Eugene.

In the present day, however, linebacker Bryce Boettcher is looking to pave his own way and make a name for himself, and it could also lead him to Philly this April, as the two-sport standout projects in that day three, fifth round neighborhood.
