The Philadelphia Eagles landed Vanderbilt tight end Eli Stowers in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. But the Eagles chose to address the position again with another former SEC tight end in undrafted free agency.
The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Devin Jackson reported Saturday night the Eagles signed Ole Miss tight end Dae’Quan Wright as an undrafted free agent.
It was arguably one of the top additions the Eagles made in NFL undrafted free agency — at least in the first 20 hours after the 2026 NFL Draft.
Both The Athletic’s Dane Brugler and NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein predicted Wright to be a late-round draft pick. On Sunday, PhillyVoice’s Jimmy Kempski was highly complimentary of Wright as a pass-catcher.
“Wright made big plays all season for Ole Miss, with 39 receptions for 635 yards and 5 TDs,” wrote Kempski. “He had receptions of at least 25 yards in each of his first five games of the 2025 season, and finished with 16.3 yards per catch as a tight end.
“Wright has versatility, as Lane Kiffin lined him up all over the formation. The consensus is that Wright has some work to do as a blocker.”
Wright registered 113 catches, 1,603 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in 47 career college games.
