It starts just moments after the conclusion of the Draft and finishes up the week after it began — the opportunity for NFL Teams to sign undrafted rookie free agents to their rosters. And if you’re an Eagles fan — you well know how important it is to sign them. Reed Blankenship, Corey Clement, and Trey Burton all won Super Bowls in Philadelphia. T.J. Edwards and Darius Cooper have previously made themselves well known to Philadelphia fans.
Last season — Lance Dixon may also be a familiar name to some. He arrived at Toledo after playing at Virginia and formerly, Penn State. Maxen Hook was also Quinyon Mitchell’s roommate at Toledo.
Eli Stowers may appear to be the heir apparent to Dallas Goedert — but the Eagles have added depth once again at the tight end position by signing former Ole’ Miss and Virginia Tech tight end Dae’Quan Wright — whose 10.1 yards after catch were an FBS best in 2025. The Eagles also added depth on the offensive line by adding Guard Jaeden Roberts from Alabama — who adds two SEC Championships to the Eagles.
The Eagles also made another splash in the International Pathway Player Program by adding Arizona State OLB Joshua Weru. Weru had an impressive At the HBCU Showcase — including a 4.45-second 40-yard dash. The Eagles have a place in their heart for Alabama players — and LB Deontae Lawson (Alabama) is no exception. Lawson is on the All-Time Tackles list at Alabama with 283 as well as multiple defensive records for the Crimson Tide.
Philadelphia strengthened their defensive backfield as well. Defensive Back CB Kapena Gushiken from Mississippi started twelve games last season and recorded 55 tackles. Safety Tucker Large played for South Dakota State where he won two FCS National Championships and only had one year with Washington State. He made the most of the latter opportunity with 71 tackles and was a Team Captain.
If he makes the team — Safety Maximus Pulley from Wofford is also a name that Eagles fans should know. In his final season — Pulley was named an FCS All-American. He compiled eighty-five tackles and 5 interceptions to lead the conference. Two of those he turned into touchdowns — tying a national record.
In forty-nine games at Florida — LS Rocco Underwood was one of the finest long-snappers in all of college football. He’s even got an award to prove it.
