Eagles Unearth Raw Talent to Anchor 2025 Line

Philadelphia,We  – May 14, 2025

The Philadelphia Eagles ignited excitement on May 14, 2025, as their mastermind general manager landed an undrafted free agent drawing bold comparisons to a team legend. This rookie gem, signed post-2025 NFL Draft, could reshape Philly’s championship roster. Who’s the rising star turning heads?

Hollin Pierce, an offensive tackle from William & Mary, joined the Eagles’ 12-man UDFA class, evoking memories of Jordan Mailata’s ascent from rugby to All-Pro. Pierce’s 2024 college tape—allowing zero sacks in 11 games—showcases raw power and agility, mirroring Mailata’s untapped potential. “He’s a project with upside,” Jeff Stoutland said.

Howie Roseman, fresh off Super Bowl LIX’s 40-22 rout of the Chiefs, struck gold again with Pierce, echoing UDFA successes like Nakobe Dean and Britain Covey. Facing $26.5 million in dead money from Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox, Roseman’s low-cost signing bolsters depth behind Lane Johnson and Mailata, with Pierce eyed for a futures contract through 2026.

NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah lauded Roseman’s knack for finding diamonds, predicting Pierce could vie for a swing tackle role by mid-2025. “He’s a steal,” Jeremiah said. Eagles fans on X erupted, comparing Pierce’s highlight blocks to Mailata’s pancake tackles, with posts hyping a “new beast” for Jalen Hurts’s protection.

The Eagles are poised to dominate 2025, with Saquon Barkley, Jihaad Campbell, and Cooper DeJean fueling a title chase. Pierce’s rise could solidify Philly’s offensive line as the NFL’s best. Eagles fans, your next breakout star is ready to shine.
