I wish him well, and as a UDFA, it's a good story. But at 5.41 40 speed, the slowest guy at the combine and not someone who was heavily recruited you have to wonder the fit, especially how we use Kelce. The Eagles identified him early and paid him huge UDFA signing bonus. It was a surprise at the time. He must be doing well, as he's made the 53 when the other UDFA OL class were either traded (Bates), PS (Opeta) or cut (Render) and OL veterans cut (Wiz), while an underperforming young veteran (Pryor) gets to stick on the squad.
FWIW, Bates made the Bills 53 and I haven't heard of any of the others getting picked up. The guy we traded for DE Harold, did not make our team. I didn't hear that he got picked up did anyone else?
Worth watching. They saw something in this kid and transformed him late in camp to a position he's never played.
