Cornerback
11th Round
Southern Mississippi
"Drafted 11th, Bird has good speed with a 4.65 clocking in the 40, reads keys well and is 'seldom fooled' according to Jet scouting assessments. He's also strong on one-on-one coverage, warding off blockers well.
Bird was a three-year starter. He had six interceptions, one as a sophomore, three as a junior and two last year. He was honorable mention on the all-Southern independents squad.
A recreation major, his father, Jack, is a security guard with the NYRA and lives in Corona. Eugene wears contact lenses. His hometown is Waycross, Georgia."
