production tells a completely different story.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"635\" data-end=\"766\">After beginning his college career at Western Kentucky, Pulley transferred to Wofford and transformed into a defensive playmaker.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"911\">In his final season, he recorded 85 tackles, five interceptions, and two pick-sixes, earning First-Team All-American honors at the FCS level.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"913\" data-end=\"978\">That kind of impact quickly caught the attention of NFL scouts.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"980\" data-end=\"1104\">Pulley plays with instincts, aggression, and a nose for the football \u2014 traits that often translate well at the next level.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1106\" data-end=\"1216\">His ability to create turnovers and flip momentum makes him an intriguing addition to the Eagles\u2019 secondary.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1256\">Still, the path ahead won\u2019t be easy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1258\" data-end=\"1392\">Like most undrafted players, Pulley will need to earn everything through offseason work, training camp, and preseason opportunities.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1394\" data-end=\"1450\">Special teams will likely be his first proving ground.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1452\" data-end=\"1556\">But if his playmaking ability carries over, he could push for a deeper role in the defensive rotation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1558\" data-end=\"1624\">For the Eagles, this is a classic low-risk, high-reward signing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1754\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">For Pulley, it\u2019s a chance to prove he\u2019s more than just a great story \u2014 and that his game can match the impact of his production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philadelphia, PA \u2013 April 2026 The\u00a0Philadelphia
