Eagles sign TE Rob Myers

After the recent sad news about Ingram the Eagles went out and signed Rob Myers who was picked up by the Jets and released May 29th.  Myers missed all of his senior seaon (with Utah State) with toe turff.  Here is the scouting report on him.

Height: 6-31/8 | Weight: 243 | 40-Time: 4.58

Official Bio

Strengths:
Good athleticism…Excellent speed and quickness…Soft hands and can make the difficult catch…Terrific body control and ball skills…Can stretch the field vertically…Has the ability to do some damage after the catch…Decent effort as a blocker..Versatile…Still has some upside.

Weaknesses:
Has major health and durability issues…Just average size and bulk…Is not very strong or physical…Sub par blocker…Didn’t face a lot of top competition…Doesn’t have much experience…Wasn’t real productive.

Notes:
Redshirted in 2004…Worked as a special teamer in 2005 and logged just 13 career starts for the Aggies, all in 2006 and 2007…Missed the entire 2008 season with a turf toe injury that required surgery…Also battled groin, leg and knee ailments during his college career…Named the John Mackey National Tight End of the Week for November 21, 2007…Hails from the same program that produced Chris Cooley and is a very similar type of player…Appears to be a prototypical H-Back prospect and while his resume is relatively unimpressive he could get some looks in the late rounds due to those intriguing triangle numbers.

One never knows he could always be the next Tom Brady or Jason Witten, but looks pretty doubtful.
