Bolstering the Line
It’s sometimes difficult to remember that when you dominate on the field, it doesn’t come with some controversy.
As the Eagles closed The Linc in January 2025 for the season with a 55–23 romp over the Washington Commanders. In the shadow of that resounding victor, both Landon Dickerson and Cam Jurgens were banged up with injuries.
Right after the season, the Eagles would lose Mekhi Becton to the Chargers on a large deal.
This week, the Eagles signed undrafted free agent rookie offensive lineman Marcus Tate after an impressive performance at the Eagles’ rookie mini-camp. Tate, who impressed the Eagles during camp, was signed.
Tate contributed to over 40 games for Clemson and over 2,500 snaps. At 6 feet 5–321 pounds, Tate is another key addition to Jeff Stoutland’s offensive line.

The addition of Tate places him on the same roster as Super Bowl Champion Eagles Will Shipley, Jeremiah Trotter Jr., and K.J. Henry. The Eagle,— who are famous for plucking talent from prominent D1 schools as Georgia and Alabam— now seem to be well-versed in scouting the Clemson D1 Football Program.
The Eagles also added former Alabama running back Keilan Robinson off of waivers. Robinson played high school football at St. John’s Catholic High School and would lead his squad to the Title of the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference.
The four-star recruit would commit to Alabama and then transfer to Texas, where he played three seasons as a Longhorn.
In 2022, the rings were featured on the History Channel Show Pawn Stars, selling for a reported $40,000.00.
The Jacksonville Jaguars drafted Robinson with the 167th selection in the 2024 draft.
