Report: Shouting match with Philadelphia Eagles may have led to Derrius Guice’s fall in draft

LSU RB Derrius Guice was considered to be a first-round talent by many analysts, and was often ranked as the No. 2 back in the entire draft class, behind only Penn State’s Saquon Barkley.
However, Guice fell into the second round, thanks in large part to some pre-draft incidents — one in particular with the Philadelphia Eagles.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, Guice got in a shouting match with the Eagles during a pre-draft visit:

Guice is a fiery competitor and plays with his heart on his sleeve, so it’s no surprise that his passion can get out of hand sometimes.
Still, the Redskins got a heck of a player with the No. 59 overall pick, and playing in the NFC East means Guice will get to square off against the Eagles twice every year.
