Wide receiver Quron Pratt is the first Rutgers player to sign with an NFL team, agreeing to an undrafted deal Saturday with the Philadelphia Eagles, per a source.

Pratt, from Philadelphia suburb Palmyra, finished his career with 87 receptions for 1,087 yards but will likely make an impact on special teams. 

He returned a kick for a touchdown and blocked a punt as a senior.

The Eagles sent wide receivers coach Bob Bicknell and another assistant to Piscataway before the draft to work out Pratt and Brandon Coleman, Rutgers' most likely draftee.
