Eagles should get production right away from these four undrafted rookies

The Philadelphia Eagles are receiving praise for the work they did in the 2025 NFL Draft, but it could be the signings after the draft that might be just as impressive.

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman immediately began signing eight undrafted free agents and inviting five others to minicamp. Philadelphia split the signings right down the middle with four players signed on each side of the ball.

There are always players who slip through the cracks and go undrafted, and those are the ones that can shape a football team's roster. Do the Eagles have any of those type of players who landed with them?

Four Eagles undrafted free agents who are ready to help the team now

Brandon Johnson, Safety, Oregon

After transferring from Duke, Johnson had a nice run in his only season with the Ducks. He made 45 tackles with one-half sack, an interception, and five pass breakups in 14 games.

Johnson is versatile and can be used in the Eagles' secondary as a safety or nickel back, as he did at Oregon. He's a physical defensive back who fits the Eagles' needs and can play a similar role to that of Avonte Maddox when he was in Philly.

Reed Blankenship is the only surefire starter at safety. The other spot will go to either Tristan McCollum, second-round pick Andrew Mukuba, or Sydney Brown. Johnson might be battling for a final roster spot against one of those three if he can prove he can get it done on special teams.

Montrell Johnson, Running Back, Florida

The Eagles add some speed to the backfield with Montrell Johnson, who brings his 4.41 40-yard dash time to join Saquon Barkley, recent free agent signing A.J. Dillon, and Will Shipley. Johnson rushed for 593 yards and six touchdowns as he averaged 5.9 yards per carry last season for the Gators.

Dillion's addition to the backfield doesn't 100% ensure that he will make the final roster, as Barkley is locked in as the starter, and Shipley makes it due to his work on special teams. It all comes down to whether Dillon can bounce back from his neck injury in Green Bay last season.

Johnson has the speed to be a great one-two combo with Barkley and can be used in the passing game on third down. If he is able to beat out Dillon for a roster spot, he could be used plenty in the running game. The other way is he makes for a perfect practice squad player.

Taylor Morin, Wide Receiver, Wake Forest

The Eagles picked up a sleeper in Taylor Morin, who could have easily been a day-three selection. Morin caught 64 passes for 756 yards and two touchdowns while returning a punt for a touchdown.

Morin's chances of making the final roster are high, either because of his receiving skills or his work on special teams. Morin has one of the best target-to-catch ratios among the receivers in the draft and is a percise route runner.

A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are the obvious top two receivers, but an argument could be made that Morin could challenge for a spot on the roster as a slot receiver. The Eagles will be playing Cooper DeJean a lot more at cornerback which opens the punt returner spot if Morin is able to run with it.

Hollin Pierce, Offensive Tackle, Rutgers

The Eagles love their offensive linemen, especially with Jeff Stoutland, who has coached the best offensive line unit since 2012. Hollin Pierce joins the team after starting 50 games at left and right tackle with Rutgers from 2021 through last year.

Lane Johnson is prone to injury, as his knees have been beaten over the years, so depth at the tackle positions is critical. Pierce played both left and right tackle in his time in college and has a chance to prove his versatility with his run-blocking skills.
