The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to terms with free agent defensive back Obi Melifonwu, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter.
You may recall that Melifonwu was one of the few veterans invited to Eagles rookie minicamp, which took place in mid-May, on a tryout basis. He remained unsigned until now.
Melifonwu, 27, boasts an elite athletic profile. He’s very tall and athletic for NFL defensive back standards. The then-Oakland Raiders were once so intrigued by him that they selected him with a second-round pick (No. 56 overall) in the 2017 NFL Draft.
