Carlton Agudosi, WR

I know what you’re thinking — who in the world is Carlton Agudosi? Well, don’t be surprised here but he’s been one of those random wideouts that joins the Eagles as a camp body and ends up exceeding expectations. The first thing that stands out about Agudosi is his size. Standing tall at six-foot-six-inches, Agudosi is impossible to miss when he’s on the field.

And like many of the Eagles’ roster hopeful standouts, Agudosi is sort of a local kid. He grew up in Somerset, New Jersey and even attended Rutgers for college. By no means was Agudosi a star with the Scarlet Knights, but his size was impressive enough to give the prospect a shot.

He would go undrafted in 2017 but landed with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent. Agudosi wouldn’t make Arizona’s final 53-man roster, but they did keep him around for a while on the practice squad. After going back and forth from being signed to unsigned for 2017, Agudosi was actually unemployed for the 2018 season. This year, the Eagles will give him a second chance to make a name for himself. So far, he’s doing a solid job.
