Chris Pantale could make the Eagles as a fullback

The unlikeliest Eagle to work with the first-team offense this spring was Chris Pantale, a journeyman tight end who spent workouts and minicamp as the team’s top fullback.

If you’re looking for an under-the-radar player to make the Eagles’ 53-man roster, the 26-year-old Boston College product would fit the bill. The Eagles don’t have a fullback on the roster, and coach Doug Pederson expressed interest in keeping a tight end that could fill the role and also contribute on special teams.

Zach Ertz and Brent Celek are the top two tight ends, with Trey Burton also likely to contribute to offense and special teams.
