Roxborough Grad Scores Tryout With Philadephia Eagles

After an impressive performance during pro day at Villanova University two weeks ago, Roxborough High graduate Rasheed Bailey got a chance to tryout for the Philadelphia Eagles Wednesday morning, according to Newsworks.org.

A wide receiver originally from the East Falls neighborhood of Philadelphia, Bailey grabbed the attention of pro scouts at a workout session at Villanova in March, the report says. He took the practice field at the Novacare Center with his Delaware Valley University teammate and quarterback, Aaron Wilmer at 8 a.m. Wednesday.

After running drills, team officials led Bailey on a tour of the facility, the report says. Bailey is due to graduate from Delaware Valley University in Doylestown in May with a major in business and marketing. Aggies coach Duke Greco tells Newsworks that every NFL team has called about his star receiver since pro day.

In December, Bailey was named the Maxwell Club’s Tri-State Player of the Year after recording 80 receptions for 1,707 yards and 19 touchdowns, according to CBS Philly.
