Philadelphia Eagles sign former UGA football great

The Philadelphia Eagles signed former Georgia football great Elijah Holyfield on Tuesday, just before the start of the NFL Playoffs.

Holyfield played with the Panthers in the preseason as an undrafted free agent, but did not make the 53-man roster and would sign with their practice squad.

Now, the former four-star out of Woodward Academy will compete for a Super Bowl ring with Philadelphia starting this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks after Carolina elected not to sign him to a futures contract.
