Will one of the top three quarterback prospects make it to the Eagles at 13?

by Jimmy Kempski

Will Sam Bradford be back with the Eagles in 2016? In my view, probably not. But before the Eagles move on completely from Sleevie Wonder with the idea that they are going to find their quarterback of the future in the draft, they better be pretty sure someone worth taking will be there.

Eagles sign Lane Johnson to contract extension

by Jimmy Kempski

When the Eagles drafted Lane Johnson fourth overall in the 2013 NFL Draft, they were getting their "RTOTP, LTOTF," or "right tackle of the present, left tackle of the future." That plan remains on track, as Johnson reportedly signed a five year contract extension today with the Eagles.

New Eagles defensive line coach Chris Wilson is 'crazy,' per one of his old players

by Jimmy Kempski

Most defensive line coaches are crazy, from Jerry Azzinaro screaming "More violence!" at his players during practice, or Jim Washburn using language that would make Charles Manson blush. It seems that new Eagles defensive line coach Chris Wilson is no different.

Senior Bowl practice notes: Day 2

by Jimmy Kempski

MOBILE, Ala. – In past Senior Bowls, there always seemed to be one player who clearly stood out above the rest during the week of practices. For example, it was clear a couple years ago that Aaron Donald was unblockable. In 2013, Lane Johnson was dominant, and he vaulted up draft boards. This year, no player has emerged as "that guy," although a lot of players have had a couple good days of practices. Here's what we saw Day 2.
