The Philadelphia Eagles just signed cornerback Rick Woolen to a one-year deal, adding another high upside player to their defense.

Earlier this week, NFL analyst Immanuel Acho praised Woolen as possibly the most athletic corner in the league. He highlighted the raw tools that could make Woolen a star, but also noted the risks involved. Eagles fans have seen this before, with past signings like Darius Sleigh working out well for a time, while others such as, and Andy Asomaga, fell short.
