Ron Jaworski was part of search committee; Eagles targeting Emmanuel Sanders?
With the Eagles making the decision to hire Doug Pederson, now comes the connecting of dots on how they reached that decision.
Here's one surprising detail. Former Eagles quarterback Ron Jaworski was a part of the search committee that hired Pederson.
6ABC spoke exclusively with Jaworski, who showed off the binder of information used to store information. Jaworski said the Eagles could not have been more thorough on this.
In addition, WPVI producer Mark Meany tweeted a photo of Jaworski with the binder, opened to a page with an interesting tidbit.
Very noticeable is the headline: "E Sanders as #3 slot WR," hinting that the Eagles may target wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders in their future plans.

Jaworski was the Eagles quarterback for 10 seasons making 137 starts. He threw for 26,963 yards with 175 touchdowns and 151 interceptions. Jaworski has remained close to the Eagles since the end of his playing career. He is a regular analyst locally and has been with ESPN as an analyst since 1990.
Who knows what this means for the Eagles future, but the fact that a former quarterback played a part in hiring another former quarterback for the head coaching job says a lot.
