1947 Philadelphia Eagles season

Under Neale, the Eagles trained in Wisconsin, upstate New York and Minnesota when they could travel.

With the number-two pick, the Detroit Lions selected 1946 Heisman Trophy-winner Glenn Davis, a halfback from Army.

Cal Rossi, a running back from UCLA was drafted again in 1947 with the fourth pick by the Washington Redskins.

Some of the players who were drafted were signed by All-America Football Conference teams.
