Philadelphia Eagles' latest Georgia Bulldog signing speaks on 'amazing' chemistry and bond with former teammates

The Philadelphia Eagles added their seventh Georgia Bulldog to their roster when they signed former New York Giants outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari in NFL free agency to a one-year $4 million deal. 

He will join fellow former Dawgs Jalen Carter, Nakobe Dean, Nolan Smith, Lewis Cine, Jordan Davis, and Kelee Ringo.

"It's amazing having that chemistry and brotherhood with those guys, it's just amazing to come back here and just keep it going on," Ojulari while speaking to the Philly media for the first time.  

"We got so many Georgia guys here. Nolan (Smith), that's my brother for real. All of them are my brothers, but Nolan, since we've been in the same room since Georgia, I'm probably more close with him. But I'm close with all of them – we all share that brotherhood and the relationship we have is amazing. I'm ready to be here now."

During his time at Georgia, Ojulari logged 71 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, 14 sacks, and five forced fumbles.

It's a massive benefit for players to sign with a new team that automatically feels very much like home. And Ojulari, who spent the last four seasons playing with the Giants, also reunites with running back Saquon Barkley. 

Ojulari Ready to Show Off His Versatility in Philly 

Ojulari has battled the injury bug throughout his career but remains productive when he's healthy. Over four seasons so far, the former 2020 fourth-round pick has racked up 22 sacks, 37 quarterback hits, and 21 tackles for loss in 46 games.

In Philly, Ojulari plans to take full advantage of his versatility playing under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. 

"I feel like I'm a versatile player. I'm a physical guy, I don't shy away from any type of contact. I'm an attack-first type of mentality guy. I can set the edge, I can tackle, I can rush the passer, and I can bend. I feel like I can do it all," Ojulari said.

"Just try to do my job when I get out there on the field. Whatever happens, happens – just trying to do it to the best of my abilities. When you make those plays, it's always exciting. I'm excited to be here now and make plays with the Eagles and try to win games."
