Wow.

There's our KR/PR

[phattymatty]

Ha, awesome.  I like it a lot.

[SD_Eagle5]

Yup, solid pick this late. Love the competition this creates for the 4,5,6, spots at WR.

[Butchers Bill]

Looks like AR will be cleaning the WR house soon.  Look out Wilbur!   

[PhillyPhreak54]

I didn't think they'd take him because they took Avant.

Brown
Gaffney
Pinkston
Avant
Lewis
McMullen
McCants
Bloom

Obviously Bloom makes it. So who is out? DO they keep 6?

[Drunkmasterflex]

Does this mean Lewis and McMullen are both gone?

[Feva]

Great pick.

For months I've been thinking in the back of my head that I'd like the Eagles to give this kid a shot.


Great for the KR/PR...



Mahe's one step closer to a full time job at Chickie & Pete's.

[Geowhizzer]

Hedging their bet on Pink?

[The BIGSTUD]

See ya McMullen.

I also think we add a vet with June 1st cuts. Hopefully a proven guy.

If so, see ya Greg Lewis.

[QB Eagles]

Wikipedia's got this on him, for the curious.

Jeremy Ryan Bloom (born April 2, 1982 in Fort Collins, Colorado) is an American Olympic skier and model.

Bloom grew up in Loveland, Colorado. His father, Larry Bloom, is Jewish and a psychology professor at Colorado State University and his mother, Char, is a ski and fly fishing instructor. He has an older brother, Jordan, and an older sister, Molly.

Bloom grew up skiing at the Keystone Resort, where his mother was an instructor. He attended Loveland High School and was the star football player of their team, as well as a track state champion. Bloom joined the US Freestyle Ski Team at age 15, and was the #1 ranked men's freestyle skier in the world by age 19. He competed in the 2002 Winter Olympics at Salt Lake City, Utah, where he placed #9. Bloom also competed in the 2002 US Nationals, coming in at #1.

Bloom's experiences at the Olympics were documented in a special that aired on MTV. Bloom subsequently received a modeling job with Tommy Hilfiger Jeans.

Bloom is a former wide receiver and punt returner for the University of Colorado's Buffaloes football team. Bloom was declared ineligible to play by the NCAA for accepting skiing endorsements. The NCAA denied his eligibility after a long legal battle because according to NCAA regulations student-athletes are not permitted to endorse products. Exceptions are not given for endorsement deals earned in non-NCAA sports like freestyle skiing. However, Bloom has now declared football as his priority, continues to train, and attended the NFL's combine after the 2006 Winter Olympics in Italy.

What makes Bloom a good pick is his PR skills.
