Ex-Arizona QB Khalil Tate, Eagles Agree to UDFA Contract as WR

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed former University of Arizona quarterback and undrafted free agent Khalil Tate. Though Tate played quarterback in college, it appears as though he will be changing positions as he attempts to land an NFL roster spot:  

Tate played at Arizona from 2016 through last season. His dual-threat abilities shined the most as a sophomore in 2017 with 1,591 yards, 14 touchdowns and nine interceptions on a career-best 62 percent completion alongside 1,411 yards and 12 touchdowns on 153 rushing attempts. The 21-year-old enjoyed his best campaign as a passer in 2018, throwing for 2,530 yards, 26 touchdowns and eight picks.

Last season, Tate threw for 1,954 yards, 14 touchdowns and 11 picks while rushing for 413 yards and three touchdowns for the 4-8 Wildcats.

Tate will have to fight for his spot on the Eagles' depth chart.

Philly used a second-round pick on 2019 Heisman Trophy runner-up Jalen Hurts, and the team reportedly intends to use the former Oklahoma Sooner in a two-quarterback set with starter Carson Wentz:

With the quarterback position seemingly in good hands, Philadelphia will try Tate out at a new position. Although he had 366 carries in college, he did not record a single reception.
