The Eagles will host former USC wide receiver Marqise Lee for a visit, a source told FOXSports.com.

The visit will be the third meeting between the team and the player in various settings, the source said.

Lee, who met with the Saints on Tuesday, is one of the most intriguing prospects in this year's draft class because of his production against Pac-12 competition.

The 6-foot, 195-pounder had 248 receptions for 3,655 yards and 29 touchdowns during his three-year career in Los Angeles.

After releasing Pro Bowl wide receiver DeSean Jackson last month, the Eagles are looking to find quarterback Nick Foles another go-to weapon outside of Jeremy Maclin and Riley Cooper. They have reportedly met with other wide receiver prospects including Texas A&M's Mike Evans.
