- Tyler Murphy -- signed with the Steelers. He will be part of their mini-camp and is listed as a WR. He has to show potential early for them to invest time in his transition from QB.
- Josh Keyes -- signed with Tampa Bay. He seems like a good fit for Smith's 4-3, Cover 2 scheme. He can cover a lot of ground and has good speed.
- Manny Asprilla -- signed with the Chargers. San Diego brought in 21 undrafted free agents. That seems like a shotgun approach. I don't love Asprilla's chances, but I am glad he'll get a shot.
- Bobby Vardaro -- signed with the Vikings. Their Fanside site considers him a potential backup.

Other Eagles sign NFL deals
The NFL Draft is not the only way to get on an NFL team. Depending on the situation, signing as an undrafted free agent has its advantages. The player is just as much of a long-shot as a late rounder, yet has a little more control over where he goes. He and his agent can pick a spot or team that has real need. Many Eagles in the past few years have picked up Super Bowl rings by signing with the right team as a free agent (Herzy!). Here are the guys who didn't hear their names called over the weekend but still have a chance to make a team:

I'd love to see Tyler Murphy carve out a Brad Smith type of NFL career. He seems like a great kid and I think he's a darned good football player.
Football is a "means to an end". It is an honor to play for BC. They just need to take their great legacy into the market place to transform it. That is the real purpose of BC football.

So who have been the recent BC UDFA successes?
ALJ
Edebali
Pantale
Patchan (re signed 2015 TB for try out)
Emmit Cleary (new tryout contract with Giants)
I must be missing a bunch more... any others.
this one is a head scratcher:
"Josh Bordner (Detroit Lions) and Dominique Williams (Cleveland Browns) will join minicamps"
Super slow Bordner as an NFL receiver?? But he was a very effective WR blocker.
