Second-year NT Bennie Logan is tipping the scales at 319 pounds after adding ten pounds this offseason.

Logan is still "undersized" for a typical nose tackle, but that is by design. "The way we play our defense, you've got to be able to run," said Logan, and he does not feel he could accomplish what his coaches want him to do at 330-plus pounds. Logan will begin the season as Philadelphia's starting nose tackle.

Eagles GM Howie Roseman praised second-year NT Bennie Logan and said he has a bright future.

"He has a frame that can easily withstand 320 pounds," Roseman said. "He's got 34-inch arms. He has really big hands. His wingspan is actually six inches bigger than his height." Logan, the 67th pick in last year's draft, started the final eight games of his rookie season and was a solid run stopper despite his slender frame. He can also play five-technique in the Eagles' 3-4 scheme.

Eagles signed No. 67 overall pick DT Bennie Logan to a four-year contract.

Logan has been used all over the field during OTAs. He's been a defensive tackle when the Eagles are in a 4-3, a five-technique in their 3-4 and has also seen time as a down lineman next to a standing rusher. Logan has a chance to make an impact as a rotational player this season.
