A closer look at Philadelphia’s fifth pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
With the 2025 NFL Draft over, it’s time for some film rooms on the Philadelphia Eagles’ rookie class. I will try to get to all 10 draft picks and the UDFAs over the next few weeks. Loads of scouting reports will say very similar things, so I have tried to include film clips to back up everything and I will talk about the player’s fit with the Eagles at the end of the piece. I managed to get the All22 for several rookies, but I can’t share those clips on my Twitter accounts (or I risk getting blocked), so I’ve used a few other accounts here. Let’s go!
You can check out my podcast feed here to hear more from me. I have a Patreon linked to my podcast if you want to support me further. Due to being unable to share All22 on Twitter, I am doing All22 watch-alongs on every Eagles’ rookie on the Patreon, which is really cool!

+ He has outstanding range and speed to run sideline-to-sideline. His closing burst is great and he has the athleticism to play in space.
+ He does a lot of things well. He can blitz, handle man coverage, and drop into coverage comfortably. Georgia asked him to do a lot of things and his speed allows him to be used in different ways.

+ Explosive in pursuit due to his burst. He can chase down plays from behind and does well to avoid contact with linemen and burst through gaps. This is something he has to do at his size.
+ He wraps up well consistently and is a good tackler in the open field. He’s not a liability against the run despite being undersized.
+ He moves and looks like a top athlete. I know you can’t judge someone by a jump, but he can jump!
- Multiple lower-body injuries going back to high school.
- He has an extremely light and thin frame. His lean build limits his effectiveness in stacking and shedding in tight quarters. It may prevent him from ever being a starter.
- He has the tools and quickness to drop into coverage, but lacks production and anticipation in zone and man. He’s around the ball but doesn’t make enough plays in coverage.
- He can get lost against misdirection or traffic and can sometimes be slow to diagnose.
- He has the speed to blitz effectively, but often struggles to fight through contact. He needs a clear lane to excel. This relates to his size and inability to take on guards physically.
I watched Mondon pre-draft and was a fan of his. I had a 4th round grade on him and said the following:
Overall: Mondon is a versatile...
