The US Army signed an exception to regulations to allow a West Point graduate to play in the NFL, waiving some of his required active duty service time in the Army, defense officials tell CNN
The move comes months after a White House ceremony in which President Donald Trump told the West Point football team that he was seeking to change regulations to allow academy graduates to try out for the NFL prior to fulfilling their military service obligation, a reversal of a policy established by former Defense Secretary James Mattis.
Toth is now expected to sign a contract with the Eagles to play on their practice team. In lieu of serving out the remainder of his active duty obligation with his engineering battalion, the Army is expected to assign Toth to a Reserve Officers' Training Corps unit in the Philadelphia area to work as an instructor when he is not participating in football practice sessions.
