The wait is finally over! Casey Toohill is headed east to join the Philadelphia Eagles after they selected him with the 233rd pick of the 2020 NFL Draft on Day 3, Saturday.
Toohill joins his former teammate Colby Parkinson in the NFL now after Parkinson was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks earlier in the day. He likely presents a project player at this time for the Eagles pass-rushing unit, but a solid addition nonetheless.
The Eagles have Derek Barnett, Brandon Graham, Josh Sweat, Genard Avery and a few others in the rotation for spots on the edge, so Toohill will have his work cut out for him to land a spot. Still, the NFL dream has been realized and he’s headed to Philly.
Congrats, Casey, we’re rooting from you. All of Cardinal Nation is rooting for you!

Wait till next year
Congrats to Parkinson and Toohill for getting their shots at the NFL. But one 4th rounder and one 7th rounder reveals a lot about why Stanford’s record was so poor this year. It wasn’t just injuries.
Next year’s draft, however, whether there is a full season or not, will be very different. Sure first rounders: Little, Adebo, Costello (he’s still a Cardinal even with the MSU uniform), and probably Mills. Late first/second round picks: Fehoko, Booker, Sarell. Possible picks (if invited to the combine): Robinson, Toner, Miezan, Dalman. That’s why it will be so unfortunate if there is no season this year.
