Report: Eagles agree to undrafted free agent deal with Alabama CB Eli Ricks

Eli Ricks can be one of the best cornerbacks around when focused, and the former Alabama defensive back is set to bring his talents to Philadelphia.

According to Pro Football Focus, Ricks will sign an undrafted free-agent deal with the Eagles.

Ricks transferred to Alabama from LSU during the 2022 offseason and only spent one season with the Crimson Tide before declaring for the 2023 NFL draft.

While he was initially expected to be a first-round pick, Ricks went undrafted through seven rounds.

At 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds, Ricks has an incredible length with long arms, allowing him to excel in press-man coverage and turn and run with most receivers.
