Philadelphia Eagles UDFA Is Named One Of The Top To Watch
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

As the countdown to the 2024 NFL season begins, the Philadelphia Eagles are generating a buzz of excitement. With a roster packed with talent and promising additions, hopes are high for a deep playoff run this upcoming season.

One of the most significant acquisitions for the Eagles is the addition of star running back Saquon Barkley. His arrival injects a potent offensive threat into the team and adds a dynamic element to their offensive game plan. However, Barkley is just one piece of the puzzle in Philadelphia’s offseason strategy.

During the offseason, the Eagles have been proactive in improving their roster following a disappointing end to the 2023 season. Through a combination of strategic signings in free agency and a successful draft, the team has positioned itself for success in 2024.

Notably, the Eagles made waves with their NFL Draft performance, securing promising talent to complement their existing roster.

Additionally, the team’s keen eye for undrafted free agents has paid off, with players like defensive tackle Gabe Hall emerging as ones to watch.

Hall’s standout performances during his college career at Baylor, including an impressive tally of 11 1/2 sacks, make him a valuable asset for the Eagles.

The Athletic’s Nick Baumgardner and Scott Doctherman highlighted Hall as one of the top undrafted free agents to watch moving forward.

“However, the nod here goes to Hall, a versatile 6-6-, 291-pounder with 34 1/2-inch arms and an 84-inch wingspan. He was mostly an interior player in college, but his frame allowed him to move around a lot. Brugler had a fourth-round grade on Hall, who could be a rangy five-tech capable of playing either interior spot.”

What’s particularly encouraging for Philadelphia is the steal they secured in Hall, who was projected to be off the board much earlier in the draft. His availability to the Eagles represents a stroke of luck and underscores the team’s knack for identifying hidden gems.

With the pieces falling into place, Philadelphia Eagles fans have every reason to be excited for the upcoming season.

The team’s proactive approach to strengthening the roster and the emergence of promising talents like Gabe Hall signal a bright future ahead. As anticipation mounts, all eyes will be on Philadelphia as they set their sights on making a statement and returning to serious contention.
