The Philadelphia Eagles added more depth to the 53 man roster after the team promoted Deontay Burnett to the active roster.
Only 22 years of age, the Eagles are his fourth NFL team, but the former USC star boasts a ton of potential and ability.
With Burnett set to make his debut with the Eagles, here are 3 things to know about the smooth wideout.
***
1. Burnett committed to USC as a Blueshirt signee
Burnett originally committed to Washington State, but de-committed and since Burnett did not have an official visit or an arranged in-home visit, he was eligible for the advance scholarship.
The Trojans were able to bring him on as a scholarship player after the first day of fall camp, making him eligible to play in 2015, but his scholarship didn’t count until the 2016 recruiting cycle.
