Eric Anthony Page (born September 23, 1991) is an American football wide receiver and punt returner who was most recently a member of the Edmonton Eskimos. He played college football for the University of Toledo, and received consensus All-American honors. The Denver Broncos signed him as an undrafted free agent following the 2012 NFL Draft.
