Breaking: Eagles cut ties with favorite starter ahead of final roster cutdown.

Former HBCU standout Anim Dankwah has been released by the Philadelphia Eagles. This action was taken on the NFL’s obligatory cutdown day, when all 32 teams had to reduce their rosters from ninety to fifty-three players. After the 2024 NFL Draft, the former standout player from Howard University was signed by the Eagles as an undrafted free agent.

The Eagles will continue to monitor Dankwah notwithstanding the roster change. Dankwah is a physically commanding person at 6’8″. There was a burgeoning myth when Dankwah was signed by Philadelphia that he might be developed into the ideal tackle for the team. And with Jordan Mailata, you won’t have to search far for the Eagles offensive line master Jeff Stoutland’s last physically gifted tackle who went on to become a star.

After clearing waivers, the Philadelphia Eagles hope to keep Anim Dankwah on the practice squad. But even with his talent, there’s no guarantee he’ll be present.

Dankwah’s unusual journey to the NFL indicates that he still has his finest football season ahead of him as a talented rookie offensive lineman. Dankwah left Ghana alone at the age of nine and traveled for sixteen hours to live with his father in Canada.

Dankwah saw an abrupt change in everything, including weather, surroundings, and way of life. “I recall pleading with my dad to take me back over the first two weeks. According to Howard Football News, Dankwah stated, “I didn’t want to be here.” He said, “It took a few years to get adjusted.”

Remarkably, Dankwah never gave football a second thought throughout his early years. All that changed, though, in his junior year.

Dankwah got caught up in a scavenger quest with several new students and ended up looking for the athletic office. The head football coach at The Taft School was positive he had discovered his quarterback protector as soon as he arrived.

Dankwah said, “My high school football coach told me you should try out for the football team because you are big.” He went on, “I had to literally learn what football was.”

Dankwah eventually learned what football was, and his opponents quickly discovered who he was.
