Kary Vincent Jr. has yet to make his NFL debut since getting picked by the Denver Broncos in the seventh round of the 2021 NFL Draft. When the former LSU cornerback eventually takes the field, it will end up being with a different team.
On Tuesday, the Broncos announced that they traded Vincent to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2022 sixth-round draft pick. It was among the numerous moves made around the league ahead of the NFL trade deadline, which was at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
Vincent attended LSU from 2017-20, but he opted out of his senior season, which was played amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and decided to prepare for the 2021 NFL Draft. He then got selected by the Broncos with the No. 237 overall pick.
Now that Vincent is in Philadelphia, it’s possible that he could soon make his NFL debut. Even if he doesn’t get onto the field on defense for the Eagles, perhaps he could contribute on special teams.
Philadelphia is off to a 3-5 start, and if it continues to struggle, it may want to evaluate its young talent and could decide to give players such as Vincent more playing time down the stretch.
