A couple of former Clemson standouts had strong showings in the Philadelphia Eagles’ second preseason game on Thursday against the Cleveland Browns in Philly.
Wide receiver Joseph Ngata had a team-high-tying three catches for the Eagles and tallied 39 receiving yards, good for second-most on the team in the game.
Meanwhile, safety K’Von Wallace recorded a fumble recovery and also posted a team-high-tying seven total tackles, including a team-best six solo tackles in the Eagles’ 18-18 tie at Lincoln Financial Field.
Check out what some were saying about Wallace and Ngata during Thursday’s game and their standout performances in the preseason action:

Tanner McKee just threw a pass better than any pass Marcus Mariota did tonight — on his first attempt.
Joseph Ngata was the recipient of the catch. #Eagles

Nice pitch and catch from the Eagles rookie duo of Tanner McKee and Joseph Ngata.

Tanner McKee -> Joseph Ngata. Great throw and catch. In a game that’s been mostly ugly, they have both been very good.

Phinal in Philly: Eagles 18, Browns 18.
AND NO OVERTIME!!!
🏈QB Tanner McKee: 10 of 18, 147 yards, 1 TD

A mostly ugly game from the Eagles, but there were still some positives:
• Something is there with Tanner McKee. I would like to see him get reps with the 2s in the final preseason game
• Nolan Smith is unreal
• Nakobe Dean, Ben VanSumeren, Tarron Jackson, Joseph Ngata 📈— Christian Zwick (@Zwick_Christian) August 18, 2023
A few takeaways from the @eagles second pre season game last night:
We need a back up QB.
Trey Sermon looked great aside from the fumble.
We may have found something in UFA Joseph Ngata.
Carter & Smith are going to terrorize offenses
2nd Team secondary looked very suspect

Hell of a tackle by K'von Wallace
— Mack Perry (@DevaronPerry) August 17, 2023
K’Von Wallace is looking much better this summer. Haven’t seen much from up to this point but he’s playing with purpose this preseason

Forced fumble by Nakobe Dean. K'Von Wallace recovers. #Eagles
— Andrew DiCecco (@AndrewDiCecco) August 17, 2023
Nakobe Dean made a play. So did Street and Wallace.
I've seen enough and K'von Wallace should easily be on the 53.
