Over the past few seasons, the Philadelphia Eagles have tried some of the most unorthodox ways to put people on this roster. They’ve participated in the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program, which is how they found Jordan Mailata. They’ve even had another rugby guy on the roster before in the form of one Adam Zaruba. You forgot about him, didn’t you?
We’ve seen undrafted guys make the Philadelphia Eagles’ roster and contribute (Corey Clement, TJ Edwards, and Josh Adams). The Birds have even plucked guys out of Canada (Alex Singleton) and reacquired their own former prospect who kept his football dreams alive by competing in the now-defunct Alliance of American Football (Greg Ward).
