The Philadelphia Eagles have been known over the years for finding great talent that did not get selected in the NFL Draft.
Just last year, they found a hidden gem in Tarleton State wide receiver Darius Cooper, who became a good player for them on special teams. The Eagles are hoping to find the next Cooper in this 2026 undrafted class.
There are eight total Eagles signed after the NFL Draft concluded, but fans know that most won't make it. Among the eight, though, who has the best chance to make the roster?
4 Eagles undrafted free agents would could make the 53-man roster
Rocco Underwood, LS (Florida)
This one is low-hanging fruit since Underwood is the only long snapper on the team, but he performed well during his college career at Florida. Philly would rather have a young player come in to handle the snaps at a cheap cost than pay for a veteran. Unless the Eagles bring in competition, Underwood seems like the most logical choice to make it.
Deontae Lawson, LB (Alabama)
Lawson had a solid college career at Alabama, and many were surprised that he didn't get drafted at all. He is familiar with fellow Eagles linebacker Jihaad Campbell, since the two played together in college, which could be a massive advantage. Nakobe Dean is gone, and the Eagles need depth at linebacker, so Lawson might be able to surprise some people and make the cut.
Joshua Weru, EDGE (Arizona State)
Weru joins Eagles seventh-round pick Uar Bernard as the two from the international pathway program to join the franchise in 2026. He showed that he can get the job done off the edge while at Arizona State and can be an athletic force to develop. After Jordan Mailata's success, the Eagles know the international pathway program can work, so they are going back to the well to find more great talent, with Weru as the latest example.

Dae'Quan Wright, TE (Ole Miss)
Philly's tight end room is loaded, but Wright has size and hands to be a sleeper pick to make the roster. The Eagles added a bunch of blocking tight ends to the room, but would prefer younger players to develop in this offense. Wright can do it all with some development needed, so the Eagles could take a chance on him and keep him behind fellow rookie Eli Stowers and veteran Dallas Goedert on the roster.
