The Philadelphia Eagles love tight ends just as much as they enjoy developing quarterbacks and Howie Roseman may have found his franchise a third tight end.

After the conclusion of the NFL Draft and the start of the undrafted free agent period, the Bird’s first signee was Noah Togiai, a tight end out of Oregon State.

The Eagles coveted the athletic Togiai so much, that they gave him one of the biggest guaranteed deals for non-draftees.

The 6-foot-4, 246-pound Togiai started in 37 of 44 games played while at Oregon State, and accumulated 1,000 yards receiving in his career.

A developmental tight end, Togiai is a former basketball player who as a senior in Corvallis, talled 44 catches for 406 yards and three touchdowns for the Beavers.
