With the 168th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Eagles selected center/guard Drew Kendall out of Boston College.

Kendall (6-4, 308 pounds) had a stellar final season for the Golden Eagles, earning first-team All-ACC honors and an invitation to the East-West Shrine Bowl.

"I've heard a lot about Coach (Jeff) Stoutland. He's coached some of the greats, some of the great centers – Jason Kelce, really developed him. Really excited to get to work with him and get to work with the guys in the room. They've got a great offensive line culture and I'm honored to be a part of it," Kendall said.

"Drew, you talk about somebody who's just made to play in the NFL. Obviously, his dad was a first-round pick. It's hard to find a center, it is a center deficient league. There are not a lot of centers on draft boards," Executive Vice President/General Manager Howie Roseman said. "Felt very fortunate that he was there."
