Philadelphia, PA – April 2026

The Philadelphia Eagles continue to invest in high-upside talent following the 2026 NFL Draft, making a notable financial commitment to an under-the-radar defensive back.

Philadelphia has reportedly spent $275,000 to secure Maximus Pulley as an undrafted free agent, signaling strong belief in his long-term potential.

At 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, Pulley doesn’t immediately stand out for size alone.

But his production tells a completely different story.

After beginning his college career at Western Kentucky, Pulley transferred to Wofford and transformed into a defensive playmaker.

In his final season, he recorded 85 tackles, five interceptions, and two pick-sixes, earning First-Team All-American honors at the FCS level.

That kind of impact quickly caught the attention of NFL scouts.

Pulley plays with instincts, aggression, and a nose for the football — traits that often translate well at the next level.

His ability to create turnovers and flip momentum makes him an intriguing addition to the Eagles’ secondary.

Still, the path ahead won’t be easy.

Like most undrafted players, Pulley will need to earn everything through offseason work, training camp, and preseason opportunities.

Special teams will likely be his first proving ground.

But if his playmaking ability carries over, he could push for a deeper role in the defensive rotation.

For the Eagles, this is a classic low-risk, high-reward signing.

For Pulley, it’s a chance to prove he’s more than just a great story — and that his game can match the impact of his production.
