On Friday night, the Philadelphia Soul of the Arena Football League claimed the Arena Bowl XXIX title, their second in team history. Now, two of their players are going to get a chance to suit up in the NFL.

According to ESPN's Adam Caplan, Soul wide receiver Darius Reynolds and defensive lineman Jake Metz will have workouts with the Eagles on Monday.

Reynolds had 112 catches for 1,447 yards and 38 touchdowns in 15 games in the 2016 Arena Football season. Reynolds was an undrafted free agent for the Green Bay Packers in 2012 before joining the AFL. Last season was Reynolds first with the Soul and fifth in the AFL.

Metz had 29.5 tackles, including 10 for loss and eight sacks and two forced fumbles in 16 games this season. The 25-year-old went to Shippensburg University and Souderton High School, and the Philadelphia native has spent the last two seasons with the Soul.
