Ole Miss fans might not be ready for another potential Rebel reunion in Philadephia.

Ole Miss reunion and Eagles in the same sentence made headlines just a few weeks back, as Elijah Moore joined AJ Brown in Philly. Now, another Rebel WR could be on his way to the Eagles' locker room, thanks to the 2026 NFL Draft.

Ole Miss WR De'Zhaun Stribling to Eagles?

The Eagles have a pre-draft visit in place with Ole Miss's ultimate sleeper WR De'Zhaun Stribling, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Just when the Rebel Nation thought they could tame the excitement to see former Rebels playing together in Eagles jerseys, came Stribling's Top-30 visit.

Initially expected to be a Day 3 or Day 4 pick, Stribling's performance at the NFL Combine was a welcome development for the scouts and the Rebel Nation alike.

The Ole Miss wideout's 40-yard timing, 4.36 seconds, made every head turn in Indianapolis as the eighth-fastest 40-yard dash among wide receivers.

Drafting a WR on Day 2 or Day 3 could be a smart move from Nick Sirianni for now as they are still undecided on Brown's future. The trade talks have been around for weeks, but Howie Roseman us yet to make a decision.

Eagles would still have about a month post-draft to make a decision on Brown.

Hollywood Brown and Moore have just signed, and Darius Cooper remains the most impacted by Brown joining roster

Elijah Moore was just signed, while Darius Cooper is the player most impacted by Brown joining the roster. At the same time, Johnny Wilson will look to regain his training camp form from 2025, before he suffered a significant knee injury.

Stribling's entry and a potential Brown trade could drastically change how the WR room turns out on June 1.
