On Saturday, the Eagles announced that they have signed cornerback Mac McWilliams to his four-year rookie contract. McWilliams joins linebacker Smael Mondon Jr., quarterback Kyle McCord, tackle Myles Hinton, and outside linebacker Antwaun Powell-Ryland, who inked their rookie contracts on Friday.

The Eagles selected McWilliams with the No. 145 pick in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

McWilliams (5-10, 191 pounds) started 11 games for Central Florida last season, grading out as the team's best defender according to Pro Football Focus.

Prior to transferring to Central Florida, he was a team captain at UAB and also served as the primary punt returner.

The Pensacola, Florida, native recorded 25 solo tackles in 2024, along with 6.5 tackles for loss and a sack.

Assistant GM Alec Halaby's scouting report: "Some people see him outside, some people see him inside, and I think the beauty of that is it often means you can play both inside and outside. He has athletic and mental versatility where we've seen Mac play outside, where he has the speed to carry verticals (routes) and he has a good feel at the top of the route. Inside, he's a tough guy who can insert in the run game as need be. I think Mac is going to find whatever spot is best for him, but also can move across those spots. He's a great kid who works extremely hard. We have a lot of belief that he can maximize what he can be."
