The Eagles signed eight undrafted free agents following the 2026 NFL Draft, but one stands above the rest in terms of roster odds: long snapper Rocco Underwood.

The UDFAs

Philadelphia added DBs Kapena Gushiken and Tucker Large, LB Deontae Lawson, DB Maximus Pulley, G Jaeden Roberts, LS Rocco Underwood, DE Joshua Weru, and TE Dae'Quan Wright.

Why Underwood Stands Out

It's simple: the Eagles currently have no other long snapper under contract. Underwood is competing against nobody for a roster spot that every NFL team needs to fill.

The position might not be glamorous, but job security is job security.

Other Names to Watch

Deontae Lawson from Alabama is the headliner of the UDFA class. A three-year starter for the Crimson Tide, Lawson slipped due to an ACL tear but his football intelligence is undeniable.

Joshua Weru is another International Player Pathway athlete, joining Uar Bernard as raw prospects the Eagles will develop.
