Eagles 2025 training camp preview

C.J. Gardner Johnson wasn't happy after being traded from the Philadelphia Eagles after winning Super Bowl LIX, and the current Houston Texans star clearly hasn't gotten over the move.
While breaking down the top ten wide receivers in the NFL for ESPN, one scout raved about Philadelphia Eagles standout AJ Brown's dominant blend of skills.
Last season, Brown had 1,079 yards receiving. But he missed three games due to injury, plus the meaningless regular-season finale. In addition, the Eagles made running back Saquon Barkley the focal point of the offense as he became just the ninth player in NFL history to surpass 2,000 yards, finishing with 2,005.
Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter's reputation as one of the most dominant players at his position continues to grow.
In two seasons with the Eagles, Gardner-Johnson recorded 126 tackles, 20 pass breakups, and 12 interceptions. He brought a much-needed edge to a defense that needed intensity, and that energy catapulted Philadelphia to another championship.
That's why Mitchell is No. 7 on our list of 12 most intriguing Eagles heading into the start of training camp on July 22. We're counting them down each weekday from No. 12 to No. 1. The series began July 7 and will culminate with the start of camp.
For example, the Eagles are facing the Cowboys in their season opener on Sept. 4. The Cowboys have two top wide receivers in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. It's easy to see DeJean lined up on the outside opposite Quinyon Mitchell to take one of those players in base defense.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has been conducting a series of polls, gathering input from executives, coaches, and scouts. This time around, he used the info gained to rank safeties. Baltimore Ravens star Kyle Hamilton topped the list, but Philadelphia is void of any real mention.
