Corey Clement and Tyler Orlosky are home run signings for Philadelphia, as each could have been drafted in the fourth or fifth round this year. Orlosky is likely to win a spot on the 53-man roster behind Jason Kelce and Stephen Wisniewski, and could even beat out a veteran such as Wisniewski, whose played more guard recently.
Clement had a breakout campaign for the Badgers this year with nearly 1,400 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns. Philadelphia drafted Donnel Pumphrey and already has Ryan Mathews, Darren Sproles, and Wendell Smallwood on their roster, but Clements could take a job from Mathews.
Greg Ward Jr. is converting from quarterback to wide receiver after leaving Houston with 39 rushing touchdowns. His chances of getting a 53-man roster spot are not as strong as Clements or Orlosky, but expect him to make a practice squad and follow the footsteps of Terrelle Pryor
