PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The Philadelphia Eagles signed a pair of third-round picks, linebacker Stewart Bradley and running back Tony Hunt, to four-year contracts Thursday.
Bradley, the 87th overall pick, led Nebraska with 76 tackles as a senior after sitting out 2005 with a knee injury. A three-year starter a strong-side linebacker, Bradley had 175 tackles and four sacks in 43 games for the Cornhuskers.
The Eagles picked Hunt, the second-leading rusher in Penn State history with 3,320 yards, three picks after they selected Bradley. Hunt, 21, was a two-time All-Big Ten pick and scored 28 touchdowns in 45 career games.
