PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Eagles begin a three-day rookie camp Friday with most of their 2015 draft picks already under contract.
First-round pick Nelson Agholor and second-round choice Eric Rowe will take part in the camp. They agreed to four-year contracts this week, as did sixth-round pick Randall Evans and seventh rounder Brian Mihalik. Third-round pick Jordan Hicks and JaCorey Shepherd, another sixth-round pick are also expected to take part in the camp.
They will be joined by seven returning or practice-squad players, 16 undrafted rookie free agents and 11 players who are trying out. Those 11 do not count against the 90-man roster.
The returning players include G.J. Kinne, who is listed as a quarterback for this camp. Coach Chip Kelly said Kinne will try to make the team this year as an all-purpose offensive player and special-teamer. For this camp, though, the Eagles need quarterbacks.
The other returning players: defensive end Frank Mays, guard Josh Andrews, linebacker Brandon Hepburn, defensive tackle Wade Keliikipi, wide receiver Quron Pratt and safety Ed Reynolds. Reynolds was a sixth-round draft pick last year who spent the entire season on the practice squad.
The Eagles signed 16 undrafted rookies after the draft. They are wide receiver Rasheed Bailey from Delaware Valley College, offensive tackle Brett Boyko (UNLV), guard Malcolm Bunche (UCLA), center Mike Coccia (New Hampshire), wide receiver Devante Davis (UNLV), linebacker Jordan DeWalt-Ondijo (Duke), tight end Andrew Gleichert (Michigan State), wide receiver John Harris (Texas), guard Cole Manhart (Nebraska-Kearney), defensive end B.J. McBryde (Connecticut), running back Raheem Mostert (Purdue), defensive tackle Travis Raciti (San Jose State), cornerback Denzel Rice (Coastal Carolina), punter Kip Smith (Oklahoma State), and tight ends Eric Tomlinson (Texas-El Paso) and Justin Tukes (Central Florida).
The 11 players at the camp for tryouts are defensive back Daniel Fitzpatrick (Tennessee State), defensive tackle Ofa Hautau (Oklahoma State), wide receiver Mike Johnson (Delaware), offensive tackle Vince Kowalski (Villanova), running back Kevin Monangai (Villanova), linebacker Pat O’Hara (Monmouth), linebacker Justin Oxendine (Citadel), safety Joe Sarnese (Villanova), quarterback Andy Vailas (New Hampshire), quarterback Chandler Whitmer (Connecticut), and linebacker Mike Zeuli (Princeton).
Camp practices are closed to the public and media.
