PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles have signed safety Nate Allen, their second-round draft pick, to a four-year contract.

That leaves first-round pick Brandon Graham as the Eagles’ only unsigned draft pick. Allen is expected to report to camp Wednesday.

The second-round pick out of South Florida will compete for the starting spot at free safety. The Eagles used several players at that spot last year after allowing perennial Pro Bowl safety Brian Dawkins to leave for Denver in free agency.

Allen had 224 tackles nine interceptions and four touchdowns in 48 games at South Florida.
