Eagles invited 19 players to tryout during rookie minicamp

The Philadlephia Eagles opened up their rookie minicamp on Friday with five NFL draft picks and 12 undrafted free agents.

Team GM Howie Roseman is always looking for a hidden gem or two and with Philadelphia surrendering six picks during the draft weekend via trade, the organization invited 19 players to the camp as well for a tryout.

One name not familiar to many Eagles fans is the son of a franchise legend.
