The Philadelphia Eagles were happy to sign Penn State offensive lineman Ryan Bates as an undrafted rookie free agent following the 2019 NFL Draft. The team was willing to spend a Day 3 pick on him, according to what Benjamin Solak had to say on a recent BGN Radio episode.
The odds are naturally stacked against any UDFA player but Bates might have a shot to crack the Eagles’ roster. At the very least, it seems like he’ll be in consideration for the practice squad.
In order to learn more about Bates, I reached out to SB Nation’s Penn State blog: Black Shoe Diaries.
