Two Undrafted Eagles Made the PFWA All-Rookie Team

The Eagles selected seven players in the 2014 NFL Draft. Some panned out (Jordan Matthews, Beau Allen) and some didn’t (Marcus Smith, Marcus Smith and Marcus Smith). None of those players made the Pro Football Writers Association’s All-Rookie team. Two Eagles did make the cut, but they both went undrafted.
Pro Bowler Cody Parkey and special teams specialist Trey Burton were both selected to the squad, alongside other rookies Teddy Bridgewater, Odell Beckham Jr., Mike Evans, and more. There’s a lot of added pressure (and added responsibility) on Chip Kelly for this year’s draft, and now he’s got to follow up with some undrafted gems, too.
