Breakout Players

C Cam Jurgens - The retirement of Jason Kelce squarely places Jurgens under the microscope. In many ways Jurgens is a Kelce clone, minus the resume. However, his athleticism, pulling ability and second level prowess are eerily similar. The Eagles have prepared well for the future along their offensive line and have one of the most well-respected OL coaches in Jeff Stoutland.

OG Tyler Steen - Unable to retain Sua Opeta in free agency, Philly will elevate Steen to the right guard position, a role he has been groomed for. Steens showed great signs of stability during his lone spot start …

DT Jalen Carter - There was plenty of bark and not enough bite on defense last season. Carter was public enemy number one, reporting to camp out of shape before running into nagging injuries. Veteran Fletcher Cox hung up the cleats and is no longer there to guide him, so Carter is being counted on to embrace a significantly larger load.

2024 NFL Draft Class

The cornerback value had with the selections of Quinyon Mitchell (No.22) and Cooper DeJean (No.40) is absurd. The Eagles secondary is stout with Darius Slay, James Bradberry and CJ Gardner patrolling the backend. Much like Saquon Barkley, fourth round runner Will Shipley is an all-purpose dynamo who plays special teams. The move to nab Jeremiah Trotter Jr. on Day 3 only seemed fitting.
