Philadelphia, PA – April 27, 2025 – Fresh off Super Bowl LIX glory, the Philadelphia Eagles snagged a hidden gem without a draft pick. Their top undrafted free agent deal went to a tight end with a remarkable journey, bolstering depth behind their star.
Jalin Conyers, an Arizona State standout, signed for $125,000 guaranteed. His 104 receptions and 1,274 yards from 2022-2024 mirror Dallas Goedert’s dynamic style, hinting at a versatile backup ready to shine.
Conyers, at 6’4”, 265 pounds, blends size and agility. His 4.62-second 40-yard dash and 28 bench press reps at Arizona State’s Pro Day showcase athleticism, perfect for Philly’s pass-heavy attack.
Hailing from Grulla, Texas, Conyers overcame a junior college detour to star at Oklahoma and Arizona State. His 8 receiving touchdowns echo Goedert’s flair for big plays in the red zone.
“He’s a playmaker,” coach Nick Sirianni said. Conyers’ 412 career receiving yards and special teams snaps fit Philly’s needs, backing Goedert’s 1,019-yard 2022 season while adding blocking punch.
The Eagles, with Jahan Dotson and rookie Harold Fannin Jr., sought tight end depth. Conyers joins Grant Calcaterra, offering dual-threat skills. His 12.3 yards per catch rivals Goedert’s versatility, easing the star’s load.
Cutting Britain Covey freed $1.2 million, part of $5.7 million saved. Roseman’s draft—Jihaad Campbell, Andrew Mukuba, Sai’Vion Jones—pairs with Conyers’ signing to outpace NFC East rivals like the Cowboys.
Conyers’ journey, from JUCO to FBS star, fuels his Eagles dream. If he channels Goedert’s magic, this $125,000 gamble could be a steal, fortifying Philly’s passing game for another title run.
