Philadelphia Eagles adds explosive Washington product to wide receiver room, waives Tyrion Davis-Price to make room on 90-man roster
The Philadelphia Eagles wrapped up their rookie minicamp on Sunday with a notable roster move, signing undrafted wide receiver Giles Jackson after a strong showing over the weekend.
Jackson, who went unselected in last month’s NFL Draft, quickly made an impression with his speed, polished route running, and return ability. The 5-foot-9, 187-pound receiver caught the attention of coaches and team executives, earning a contract on the spot.
The 23-year-old began his college career at Michigan before transferring to Washington, where he flourished in 2024. During the Huskies’ first season in the Big Ten, Jackson led the team with 85 receptions for 893 yards and seven touchdowns. He finished his six-year college career with 159 catches, 1,723 receiving yards, and 10 scores.
Jackson also brings added value as a returner, having returned two kickoffs for touchdowns during his time in Ann Arbor. His special teams experience could help him earn a roster spot on a team that has placed a premium on versatility in recent years.
To make room on the 90-man offseason roster, the Eagles waived running back Tyrion Davis-Price. The former third-round pick by the 49ers spent most of last season on Philadelphia’s practice squad, logging just one appearance in Week 17 against Dallas. He carried the ball three times for seven yards in that game.
With Organized Team Activities (OTAs) set to begin later this month, Jackson’s next chance to impress will come when veterans report and the competition intensifies. If his minicamp performance is any indication, the Eagles may have uncovered another diamond in the rough.
