BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Philadelphia Eagles announced today that they have come to a one-year agreement with wide receiver Rueben Randle, who was a former second-round pick of the New York Giants.
Randle spent the first four seasons of his career with the Giants, posting the following numbers:
Rueben Randle | Rec | Yards | YPC | TD |
2012 | 19 | 298 | 15.7 | 3 |
2013 | 41 | 611 | 14.9 | 6 |
2014 | 71 | 938 | 13.2 | 3 |
2015 | 57 | 797 | 14.0 | 8 |
TOTAL | 188 | 2644 | 14.1 | 20 |
Last season, in two games against the Eagles, Randle had nine catches for 123 yards and a TD.
Randle has good size at 6'2, 208, and his numbers have generally gotten better as his career has progressed. However, he has also developed a reputation as a poor route runner, and was often blamed for some of Eli Manning's interceptions.
Randle joins an Eagles receiver group that includes Jordan Matthews, Nelson Agholor, Josh Huff, and newly acquired Chris Givens.
