Former Arkansas WR Jadon Haselwood has landed an NFL opportunity. After the 2023 NFL Draft, Haselwood was sought out by the Philadelphia Eagles and signed as a free agent.
Making an NFL roster as an undrafted free agent is an uphill battle, but Haselwood has a connection with Eagles QB Jalen Hurts. Haselwood and Hurts’ Oklahoma careers overlapped in 2019. When Haselwood was a Sooners freshman, he caught 19 passes for 272 yards as Hurts led the Sooners to the College Football Playoff.
In 3 seasons with the Sooners, Haselwood had 62 catches for 736 yards and 7 touchdowns over 28 games. After 2021, he transferred to Arkansas.
With the Razorbacks, Haselwood started all 12 regular-season games. Haselwood led the Hogs in receptions with 59. His 702 receiving yards were second on the team to Matt Landers (901 yards).
At the NFL Scouting Combine, Haselwood measured 6-2, 215 pounds. His Combine numbers, including a 4.66-second 40-yard dash, ranked 39th among receivers.
