With OTAs officially in the books, the Philadelphia Eagles only have one more practice session this month, a mandatory minicamp on the 10th, before they take some time off to rest and relax before training camp.
Soon, players will put their pads aside for some fun in the sun, and fans will wonder what the Eagles will look like when they take the field again for training camp, the preseason, and one of the most important regular seasons in recent memory, as Nick Sirianni’s squad looks to defend the Lombardi Trophy they won back in February.
Fortunately, before fans and players alike can take some time off to enjoy their own vacations, one Eagles rookie is earning some incredible praise, with All-World defensive tackle Jalen Carter taking some time to celebrate Ty Robinson while talking to reporters.
“You seen him yet? That boy fire, I ain’t even gonna lie, he’s moving good. He’s a big boy,” Carter declared. “I’ve seen his highlights before he came, what everyone was talking about. He’s here and he’s working. I think he’s going to have a big impact this season.”
Drafted at the top of the fourth round with pick 111, Robinson is one of the more interesting prospects to come off the board on Day 3, as he’s a big, athletic defensive lineman who logged as many snaps at 3-4 defensive tackle as 4-3 defensive end.
While Robinson didn’t overly dazzle during his run under Matt Rhule at Nebraska, amassing just 10 sacks, 23 QB hits, and 61 hurries over the past three seasons, Robinson has a chance to step up and play an important role for the Eagles this fall as he fits a need left by free agency.
Jalen Carter is already impressed by rookie DT Ty Robinson:

While the Eagles lost more talent on the edge than from the inside of their defensive line in free agency, with Brandon Graham retiring and Josh Sweat leaving in free agency versus just the exit of Milton Williams, saying goodbye to New England’s $104 million man was tough to swallow all the same, as his production was a big part of the team’s success.
Now granted, the Eagles aren’t bereft of talent on the inside. They still have starters Jordan Davis and Carter on rookie-scale contracts and expect to give 2023 seventh-round pick Moro Ojomo a longer runway after showing he, too, after proving he can be an efficient pass rusher during the preseason. With that in mind, the Eagles still need to fill 501 defensive snaps over the course of the regular season, and just...
