WEST POINT, N.Y. - Rich DeMarco caught up with Elijah Riley this week after a big weekend for the senior cornerback.Â
Riley was offered a deal by the Philadelphia Eagles. He was one of three to receive offers under the NFL undrafted free agent program since the secretary of defense endorsed a policy in November making it possible for exceptionally talented athletes who have graduated from a military service academy to pursue employment as professional sports athletes following graduation. Once approved, they will be permitted to delay their commissioning and subsequent service obligation to pursue employment as professional sports athletes.
