Five Georgia Southern football players were given the opportunity to begin their career at the next level in NFL, announced Saturday.
While none of these players were drafted, being a free agent still gives these Eagles a chance to play at the next level if they work hard enough.
Tight end Ellis Richardson signed a free agent contract with the Chicago Bears while the other four have accepted invites to rookie minicamps. Running back Wesley Fields accepted a minicamp invite for San Francisco. Safety Sean Freeman and offensive lineman Curtis Rainey both accepted invites for Atlanta’s minicamp.
