Olamide Zaccheaus, Eagles agree to contract

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing free agent wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus, according to his agency.

That’s pronounced: oh-llama-day zah-key-us.

Zaccheaus had somewhat curiously lingered on the open market despite being a 25-year-old coming off a career season. The 2019 undrafted rookie free agent saw 61 targets for 40 receptions, 533 yards (13.3 average), and three touchdowns with the Atlanta Falcons last year. Quarterbacks had a 109.5 passer rating when throwing his way.

Perhaps teams were deterred by his size. Listed at 5’8”, 193 pounds, he’s certainly not the most physically imposing player.
