Temple center Matt Hennessy was ready to have an in-person interview with the Eagles leading up to the NFL draft when the coronavirus pandemic shut down everything. His scheduled visit was March 13. Temple center Matt Hennessy works equally hard at football and academics. The NFL is next. "I was in Philadelphia and was going to go down to the complex that day and visit with everybody but wasn't able to due to the circumstances," Hennessy said last week by phone. Hennessy eventually had the meeting with the Eagles via Zoom. "I thought the meeting went well, and of course I'd be thrilled to go there," he said. In truth, he would be thrilled to go to any of the 32 NFL teams.Hennessy, who earned his degree in finance in December, was a redshirt junior, but bypassed his final season at Temple. Since then, he played in the Senior Bowl and participated in the NFL scouting combine, where the 6-foot-4, 307-pound Hennessy ran a 5.18 40-yard dash and bench pressed 225 pounds 23 times. He has been at home during the pre-draft process in Rockland County, New York, about 20 minutes from Manhattan. "We're in New York in one of the hotter [coronavirus] zones, but I'm just staying in the house and staying away," he said. - Philadelphia Inquirer/Daily News
