Five Eagles breakout candidates in 2025 - PhillyVoice
CB Kelee Ringo: Ringo hasn’t played much in the regular defense his first two seasons in the NFL, but in the limited chances he has gotten — as shown in film breakdowns from his 2023 season here and his 2024 season here — he hasn’t been perfect, but has shown promise in coverage. Ringo, still only 22, is very young for a third-year pro. He has all the physical tools (6’2, 207, 4.36 speed) to be a starting cornerback in the NFL, and he has had two years to get his NFL sea legs. Ringo will have to win a training camp battle over Adoree’ Jackson to earn the Eagles’ CB3 job, but I would consider him the favorite heading into spring practices.

10 names to know: Kelee Ringo, CB, Philadelphia Eagles. The reigning Super Bowl champions used the draft to address immediate needs in their defense, which was left bare by free agent departures. But they didn’t draft a cornerback until Round 5, leaving room for Ringo, a 2023 fourth-round pick, to win the starting job opposite rookie star Quinyon Mitchell. Ringo has played fewer than 400 defensive snaps in his two seasons as a pro, but he’s just turning 23 this summer — the same age as some rookies. He has elite athletic traits to boot. If Ringo is ready for his moment, the Eagles’ defense looks adequately and rapidly retooled for another postseason push.

The position battles. The real position battles won’t get going until training camp later this summer but they have to start somewhere. And there are several key positions with starting spots up for grabs going into 2025. Right guard: This has become an annual position battle for a spot that has a new starter pretty much every season. Mekhi Becton, who was the starting right guard in 2024, left in free agency to join the Chargers. The top candidate to replace him is former third-round pick Tyler Steen, who was a top backup last season. The competitors for the job are Kenyon Green, Matt Pryor and a few others. Cornerback: The Eagles moved on from Darius Slay this offseason and Isaiah Rodgers left in free agency. So that means they lost a starter and their top backup outside cornerback. The most likely replacement on this roster is third-year pro Kelee Ringo but the Eagles added Adoree’ Jackson this offseason in free agency and he should push the 22-year-old Ringo.
