by Jimmy Kempski

On Thursday, the final day of Philadelphia Eagles minicamp, Doug Pederson conducted a short practice, followed by conditioning. Therefore, there aren't an abundance of notes today, but here are a few things that stood out.

Fletcher Cox lands at No. 49 on NFL's Top 100 list

by Jimmy Kempski

There might only be one Eagles player on the NFL's Top 100 list this year. That would be DT Fletcher Cox, who came in at No. 49. That placement is probably a little low for Cox, who is easily the best player on the Eagles' roster, and among the best defensive linemen in the NFL.

by Jimmy Kempski

On day two of the Philadelphia Eagles' minicamp, the Birds' defense dominated the offense. Thursday will be the final day of Eagles practices until the team reconvenes at the end of July for training camp. Here's what we saw on Wednesday.

Carson Wentz likes to air it out, and Doug Pederson wants to let him

by Jimmy Kempski

After the Eagles selected Carson Wentz with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Doug Pederson was asked who Wentz reminded him of. Without hesitation, Pederson mentioned Brett Favre. In practice, Wentz has shown a Favre-like gunslinger mentality.

A sneak preview of the 2017 RB draft class

by Jimmy Kempski

It's perhaps a little early to start looking forward to the 2017 NFL Draft, but because it has been a fairly regular question in our weekly Eagles chats, we'll review the running backs who could be available a year from now.

Doug Pederson provides window into the future talking about quarterback practice reps

by Jimmy Kempski

A week ago at Philadelphia Eagles OTAs, head coach Doug Pederson said fairly clearly that Sam Bradford is going to be his starting quarterback in 2016. At the time Pederson was asked if Bradford had separated himself from Carson Wentz and Chase Daniel based on his performance on the field during OTAs.

Fletcher Cox (or his agent or whoever) issues statement

by Jimmy Kempski

On Monday, Eagles players reported to minicamp for their physicals. Among the reportees were Darren Sproles and Fletcher Cox, who were both non-participants for voluntary OTAs earlier this offseason. On the first day of media access at minicamp, Cox issues at statement, which was released to the media by the Eagles.

Google review ratings of each NFL stadium

by Jimmy Kempski

Since there isn't much in the way of news in the NFL at the moment, I figured we'd take a look at the stadiums around the league to see how they fared on Google reviews. To the surprise on nobody who has ever been there, the Redskins' FedEx Field received the worst reviews, narrowly beating out O.co Coliseum in Oakland.

Eagles RB Kenjon Barner receives praise from Doug Pederson but needs to be more consistent

by Jimmy Kempski

Ryan Mathews, Darren Sproles (barring a surprise trade) and Wendell Smallwood are all locks to make the team, but certainly, the Eagles would love to see a player beyond those three step up and show he can provide depth. Many have earmarked third year RB Kenjon Barner to be that guy.
