Roob’s Eagles Observations: A new twist that should pay big dividends on offense - NBCSP
5. There’s been so much hype this summer around Jalyx Hunt, and Dave Zangaro wrote Friday about how impressed some of his teammates have been with the second-year edge rusher. I’m seriously bullish on Hunt. I’ve got him down for eight to 10 sacks and I wouldn’t be shocked if he goes over that. He’s so strong and quick and athletic and he’s already come so far so fast, his ceiling is unlimited. I just can’t get over the fact that this kid began his college career as an Ivy League safety at Cornell in 2019 and was still playing safety at Cornell as recently as 2021. His first year as an edge was 2022, when he resurfaced at Houston Baptist (now Houston Christian). I mean, to be at the level he’s at now – starting for the Super Bowl champs – when he was a safety four years ago is absurd. He was drafted as a project, but he’s anything but. He’s going to be really, really good.
Eagles Training Camp Practice Notes: Jihaad Campbell sees some first-team reps - BGN
JIHAAD CAMPBELL RISING: For the first time this summer, the Eagles’ 2025 first-round pick rotated in with the first-team defense. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. still took the majority of reps next to Zack Baun but Campbell’s stock is apparently rising. Speaking after practice, Campbell said that he’ll be able to participate in the Eagles’ first padded practice on Tuesday.

Eagles mailbag: If Zack Baun and Jihaad Campbell play well, where does that leave Nakobe Dean? - PhillyVoice
Question from @JackDespeaux: Assuming Campbell wins the LB job, what becomes Nakobe Dean’s role on the team? I think the more interesting question for the linebacker position isn’t so much who will start Week 1 (again, I’m pretty convinced it’ll be Campbell), but rather how Dean fits in whenever he is able to return to the field. And I guess my answer to that is... I don’t know. But then also, how does Dean fit in, long-term? Baun is under contract through 2027. Campbell is under contract through at least the next four seasons, plus a fifth-year option. Dean is going to want to start after his productive 2024 season, but if Baun and Campbell ball out this season, that opportunity might not be with the Eagles in 2026 and beyond....
