NFL: Eagles to take a look at Kentucky defensive end


Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Former Kentucky defensive end Jeremy Jargon is expected to work out for the Eagles in hopes of being selected in the NFL supplemental draft.

Jargon acknowledged in May he had been declared ineligible for his senior season by the NCAA because he tested positive for a banned substance. He said the result came from a dietary supplement, but has not publicly disclosed the substance.
He was expected to arrive in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening to work out on Wednesday.
Jargon has graduated from Kentucky with a political science degree. He’ll also hold a pro day workout on July 9, one week before the supplemental draft on July 16.
Any team that makes a pick in the supplemental draft will forfeit a corresponding pick in the 2010 draft.
