One day after he was bypassed in the NFL draft, Arizona Wildcats quarterback Khalil Tate appears to have found an intriguing landing spot.
Tate has signed as an undrafted free agent with the Philadelphia Eagles, he tweeted Sunday afternoon.
“The last time I had green in my jersey, I played for the Inglewood Jets," Tate tweeted. He later added, "Honored to get a chance to pursue my dream of playing in the NFL," tagging the Eagles and posting an image of himself in a Philly uniform.
Tate had a wildly inconsistent career at Arizona. He emerged as one of the best players in the country in 2017 but struggled to build on that campaign the next two seasons while dealing with injuries and adjusting to a new coaching staff.
