Eagles have four “veteran players” participating at their rookie minicamp that weren’t already part of the team’s roster:

- Ahmarean Brown, WR, South Carolina
- Malik Knowles, WR, Kansas State
- Michael Dogbe, IDL, Temple
- Niko Lalos, LS, Dartmouth
Brown signed with the Browns… pic.twitter.com/sphidem1b2
That's Lalos in the blue No. 57 Giants uniform. Click through the "Show More" and you'll see this:
"Lalos is an intriguing player because he’s making the switch from EDGE to LS. Lalos has bounced around the NFL since 2020 and is trying out a new position in 2025."
A defensive end who made a splash over a few games with the New York Giants, Niko Lalos '20 was most recently on the New Orleans Saints practice roster as an edge rusher. He was a backup long snapper at Dartmouth.
Apparently he had a number of potential tryouts set up.

A story headlined, Packers sign six draft picks; Green Bay also signs 10 rookie free agents includes this about one of the undrafted free agents, former Dartmouth standout Tyron Herring '23 (LINK):
Herring began his career at Dartmouth College (2019-22) before finishing at the University of Delaware (2023-24). He was named fourth-team All-Ivy League in 2022, honorable mention All-CAA in 2023 and second-team All-CAA in 2024. Herring played in 17 games in three seasons for the Big Green (2019, 2021-22), recording 49 tackles (33 solo), an interception, a tackle for a loss and four passes defensed. In two seasons with the Blue Hens, he played in 23 games, registering 72 tackles (50 solo), four interceptions, 11 passes defensed, 3.5 tackles for a loss, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

EXTRA POINT
When we lived in Etna, real estate folks often referred to where we lived as the "most scenic" road in Hanover. I think it was true.
These days we live in an wonderfully scenic and quiet area of Vermont, and we love it.
Ah, but there is a down side to these beautiful rural roads. With so few houses around, people who are drinking in cards and trucks and don't want to be pulled over with open bottles and cans in their possession are more likely to toss 'em out the window on a back road than they would be in a neighborhood.
It's "Green Up Day" and we'll be grabbing our plastic bags and heading out shortly to clean up our assigned mile. A curmudgeon neighbor in Etna used to refer to "the litterer's 'beer of choice.' " What will the cans we collect from the sides of the road tell us it was this year?
