Brennan Eagles’ big-bodied frame could lead to niche role in Cowboys offense

The Dallas Cowboys brought in 4 UDFA receivers this draft to compete for the backend of the roster. Here’s what Eagles brings to the table in his quest to make the 53-man roster.

Is there any room at the inn for another receiver in Dallas? That’s got to be the thought process for a handful of young pass catchers currently on the Cowboys’ 90-man offseason roster. Dallas has perhaps the most loaded WR corps in the league in one of the most potent offenses in the league. So much so, the club almost completely ignored the offense during the three-day draft. They did select Stanford WR Simi Fehoko in the fourth round, however.

That selection makes the climb even more difficult for the collection of UDFA wideouts the team added that Saturday night in late April. Among the four signed was Texas Longhorns wideout Brennan Eagles. Eagles projects as a practice squad candidate who’s best skillset seems to be how he’d utilize his big-body size as a red-zone threat or a possession receiver who could move the chains.

Our profile countdown continues with No. 83, WR Brennan Eagles.
