Eagles Pick Up 4 UDFAs

A busy day for the Eagles continued long into the night. As reported yesterday, the Eagles signed CB Cliff Harris, S Phillip Thomas, WR Damaris Johnson, and RB Chris Polk.


Well the Eagles have added 4 more guys to that total.


Overnight, the Eagles agreed to contracts with UMass FB Emil Igwenagu, Miami TE Chase Ford, Louisiana WR Darnell Williams, and Montana St. WR Elvis Akpla.


During his Sophomore year at UMass, Igwenagu caught 23 passes for 283 yards and a touchdown as an H-back. He moved to Fullback in 2011 and grabbed 38 passes for 375 yards and 3 touchdowns.


Chase Ford's stats don't really stand out. In 7 games, he caught 9 passes for 88 yards and 1 touchdown. He helped himself even land an NFL contract with a great showing at the annual East-West game.


In 2010, Darnell Williams led all of College Football in kickoff return average (48.5 yards). He caught 57 passes for 1,170 yards and 14 touchdowns. According to nfldraftscout.com, Williams also runs a 4.49 40 time.


The name Elvis Akpla sound familiar? It is because he did this against Sam Houston St. In 2011, Akpla scored 11 touchdowns, and 18 in his College career.


UPDATE: Eagles have signed 5 more UDFAs: Stanford FB Jeremy Stewart, BYU WR McKay Jacobson, ASU WR Aaron Pflugrad, UTEP LS Matt Camilli, KY P Ryan Tydlacka.
