Correction: Ed Eagen initially told our reporter that he had signed with Buffalo. In a subsequent call, he acknowledged that he had instead signed with Dallas.
Northwestern State wide receiver and return specialist Ed Eagan went undrafted in the 2016 NFL Draft but soon after its conclusion, he signed as an undrafted free agent with the Dallas Cowboys.
Eagan finished his career as the school's all-time record leader in receptions (177) and receiving yards (2,228).
The 5-foot-11, 192-pound Eagan, who prepped at Holy Cross, finished his Northwestern State career with 10 school records as well as two Southland Conference records.
Aside from the receptions records, Eagan is also the school's career leader in all-purpose yardage (5,651), kickoff return yardage (2,922), kickoff returns (125), single-season receptions (73), single-season kickoff return yards (1,045) and single-season kickoff attempts (45), single-game receiving yardage (238) and is tied for the lead for most receptions in a game (13). He is also the Southland Conference record holder for kickoff returns and kickoff return yardage.
Eagan's ability to play in the return game helped him land with Dallas.
"They all say that special teams is going to help me stick to a team and not just get picked up or drafted but actually stick to a team," Eagan said. "It's going to be special teams. The difference between me and a lot of other people is that I can use do special teams but I can contribute in the slot too."
Slot receiver is where Eagan is pegged at the next level. He played on the outside at Northwestern State but has embraced the idea since playing the position at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.
"Senior Bowl was really the first time I was in the slot," Eagan said. "In college, I was outside. I can play outside. I was doing good out there so they kept me there. Being in the middle of the field and going against linebackers and safeties, I could use the speed and quickness."
