Quarterback to audition for NFC East club Aaron Wilson
University of Washington quarterback Jake Locker is scheduled to work out for the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday in Seattle, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.
Locker has conducted private workouts previously for the Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans, Denver Broncos and the Minnesota Vikings.
He has visited the Tennessee Titans.
Extremely athletic, Locker ran the 40-yard dash in 4.50 seconds at the NFL scouting combine. The 6-foot-3, 231-pounder also registered a 35-inch vertical leap and a 9-7 broad jump.
Locker's athleticism, arm strength and character have drawn high marks, but his accuracy has been under scrutiny. He had a strong Pro Day workout where he completed almost every pass during a scripted workout.
Locker's statistics did take a hit over the past year and he wasn't sharp at times during the week of the Senior Bowl.
As a junior, Locker completed 58.2 percent of his throws for 2,800 yards, 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions for a 129.75 passer rating.
As a senior, he completed 55.4 percent of his throws for 2,265 yards, 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions for a 124.20 rating.
However, there were some injuries along the offensive line for Locker to contend with.
Locker has been getting pointers from former New York Jets quarterback Ken O'Brien.
Locker gets points for personality and intangibles.
"When you've got a guy who's achieved the things he's achieved and had the success he's had, most of the time they're going to be cocky," Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller said. "But if you just meet Jake on the street and didn't know his name, you wouldn't even know some of the stuff that he's done."
