Eagles eyeing Boldin…

March 29, 2009  

Mississippi Wake Forest Football…but not the Boldin you want. A league source tells PFT that the Eagles are scheduled to workout D.J. Boldin, Anquan’s younger brother.

The good news is that D.J. wasn’t even invited to the Combine, which means he’s probably awesome. All kidding aside, he is a very big wideout from Wake Forest who ran the 40-yard dash in 4.55 seconds. That’s not blazing by any stretch, but it’s ok because he is so big.

Boldin did catch 77 balls last year at Wake, so it seems that he might be able to play a little bit. Florio of PFT notes that those 77 catches is more than North Carolina’s Hakeem Nicks, who most have rated very highly.

Florio also takes another step that I’m not prepared to take. He thinks if the Eagles used a later pick on D.J., that it could be laying the foundation to put the two on the same team. If Anquan was a free agent, I’d be on board with that theory. But the fact that a trade would have to take place and he really doesn’t control his destiny in that regard, I can’t follow him there. I think the Eagles have bigger worries than creating a neat little scenario where they have two sets of brothers on the team.
