NFL prospects are trying to 'enlarge' their hands

by Jimmy Kempski

Hand size is kind of a big deal at the Combine, especially at certain positions, like quarterback and wide receiver, for obvious reasons. And it is absolutely something that NFL personnel people monitor.

Roseman: Fletcher Cox is going to get 'great player money'

by Jimmy Kempski

Back in January, Fletcher Cox said that he wanted to finish his career in Philadelphia. That feeling, from the Eagles' perspective, is mutual.

Howie Roseman hints that running back could be a position of interest in the draft

by Jimmy Kempski

Although they may be wildly overpaying for it, the Eagles have a surplus of talent and depth at running back. It is one of the rare positions on the roster where they seem to be set for the 2016 season. And yet, running back is somewhat of an underrated need for the Eagles this offseason, which Howie Roseman seems to recognize.

Eagles should consider double-dipping on quarterbacks in the 2016 NFL Draft

by Jimmy Kempski

As long as you're developing one rookie quarterback, possibly in the early rounds, you may as well go ahead and try to develop two simultaneously. "Young QB2" can push "Young QB1" (and vice versa) from a competition standpoint, while being able to lean on each other from a learning perspective.

The NFL may have finally identified that Sam Bradford is not worth a big investment

by Jimmy Kempski

There's a growing feeling here that the rest of the league has caught up to the notion that Bradford just isn't worth the type of money his camp would like to receive on the open market, which could signal a less expensive return to Philly.

Niners, Rams, Bills discuss their quarterback situations: How do they affect the Eagles?

by Jimmy Kempski

What coaches and general managers say at the Combine can often be meaningless. For example, Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said Sam Bradford would be back in St. Louis for the 2015 season when he talked in Indianapolis a year ago. Still, it's worth noting a few nuggets from today's press conferences at the NFL Combine.

Eagles clearly targeting offensive line help this offseason

by Jimmy Kempski

The offensive line is kind of important. It's good that the new regime does not appear to plan on ignoring it.

NFL Combine positional previews: Quarterbacks who could interest the Eagles

by Jimmy Kempski

In regard to whether or not the Eagles should bring Sam Bradford back, that horse has been beaten to death and resurrected a few dozen times, so we won't get into all of that again here.
