Overview
- Philadelphia announced Friday the addition of eight undrafted free agents and International Player Pathway defensive lineman Joshua Weru as rookies reported for minicamp.
- Headliners include Alabama linebacker Deontae Lawson, a two-time All-SEC starter with 89 tackles last year, and Ole Miss tight end Dae’Quan Wright, who posted 635 yards and led FBS tight ends in yards after catch per reception.
- Florida long snapper Rocco Underwood, the 2024 Patrick Mannelly Award winner, enters a direct contest for the job after appearing in 49 college games.
- Kenya-born Weru arrives through the NFL’s program for international converts with little football experience, with reported testing of a 4.45-second 40 and a 41-inch vertical from a showcase.
- The eight-player UDFA class is the Eagles’ second-smallest in five years, pointing to a targeted post-draft approach that now flows into OTAs and training camp evaluations.
