Former Clemson lineman Marcus Tate has reportedly signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent.
He tried out with the Eagles early last month. The Eagles drafted former Clemson DB Andrew Mukuba this spring and drafted more former Tate teammates in Will Shipley and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. last year before a run to a Super Bowl win. .@teamfl25 is ready for the next level!
