Micah Morris feels like another classic Eagles trench bet. Also, another Georgia lineman who could have a positive impact on the Philly line.
He is a powerful, violent player who prides himself on overwhelming his opponents at the line of scrimmage.
Philly selected Morris in round six, and some see that as a small investment, but dont be fooled by his draft spot, there is nothing small about Micah Morris.
Morris is built like a bulldozer; he stands 6'5 ", weighs 334 pounds, but he is very fluid and moves much like a zero-turn.
He exudes rare movement skills for a man his size and played heavy-handed, and with a mauler mentality that coaches love.
When you watch his game film, you see a player who finishes blocks, generates movement at the point of attack, and erases defenders when he gets his hands on them.
His upper body strength shows up rep after rep, especially when he pulls across the formation in short yardage situations.
“I feel like I’m at best pulling and trapping and just, honestly, anytime it’s goal line, you need a yard, I feel like I’m a big, powerful guy.' He told Devin Jackson at the Shrine Bowl. Once I get my feet rolling and my hands on an individual, I feel like I’m pretty confident in myself.”
That skill set should fit exactly what Philadelphia plans to do up front.
Micah played every game for Georgia last season and logged snaps at both interior OL and Tackle spots. That type of versatility matters in the NFL.
So does his production. He didn’t allow a sack over 907 pass blocking snaps and only 11 pressures over three seasons, per PFF. In 2025, over 369 pass-blocking snaps, he allowed 0 sacks and 4 pressures.
Those stats pair well with another OL the Eagles drafted, Markel Bell. More on Bell coming soon.
The Eagles have a type, and their value of athletic traits, size, and experience has been growing.
Eagles GM Howie Roseman discussed him after the draft.
“There’s a lot to like about him. He’s got great size. All his testing is through the roof. He started every game for Georgia this year. He’s got incredible experience playing in the SEC. He’s got all the ability, and now he’s got to apply that. Another guy who stood out on the board.”
Micah's athletic profile is what makes him so intriguing. He posted a 9.96 Relative Athletic Score, ranking ninth out of 1,904 guards tested from 1987 through 2026. The only knock was his height.
Morris ran a 5.09 forty with a 1.73 ten-yard split and a 9-foot-4 broad jump. Those numbers are rare and somewhat reminiscent of what Jordan Davis did, but as an interior lineman rather than a defensive lineman.
His physical tools are undeniable.
His journey to Philly is a path that was plowed, fighting through Georgia since he arrived in Athens at 17 years old. He went up against former NFL players, including a few Eagles, every day in practice. Reps that shaped him.
“My feet were planted, but I was sliding backwards.”
Reuniting with Jordan, Carter, and Nolan in Philadelphia began when he was drafted, as all three reportedly reached out to him.
The familiarity should help him transition more easily.
Five years after arriving in Athens, he now enters Philadelphia, still developing and honing his rare traits.
To be fair, the sixth-round pick has a lot of work to do, but he is a rookie who could find their way on the field if the interior Eagles OL struggles to stay healthy as it did in 2025.
Morris is a great insurance policy. OTAs have started, and his training camp will dictate how far he can ascend in year one.
As always, thank you for reading!
