Philadelphia Eagles promote Bruce Hector: 3 Things to know

It’s been a roller-coaster ride for Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Bruce Hector already, and he hasn’t even finished half of his rookie season yet. Philly signed Hector as an undrafted free agent in May of 2018, but with so much talent along the Eagles’ defensive line, we already knew he was a longshot to make the 53-man roster.

Well, forget what we thought we knew. Hector played his butt off and made said roster. He made his debut in the 2018 season opener, an 18-12 offensive explosion versus the Atlanta Falcons, but he was given his walking papers less than a month later on October 2nd.
