Eagles News: Philadelphia ranks 5th in ESPN’s future NFL power rankings
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ... 2024 NFL Future Power Rankings: Projections for all 32 teams - ESPN+. 5. Philadelphia Eagles. Reason for hope: Jalen Hurts turns 26 next month, and despite last season’s late collapse, he has shown plenty of reason to believe he can be the guy he was in 2022, when the Eagles went to the Super Bowl. Under GM Howie Roseman, Philadelphia also rebuilt the secondary in the draft, and all those young Georgia defensive players that it drafted in 2022 and 2023 should only keep getting better. Reason for concern: After the 2022 season, both of the Eagles’ coordinators left to become head coaches (Jonathan Gannon in Arizona and Shane Steichen in Indianapolis). Now the organization has moved on from offensive coordinator Brian Johnson in favor of Kellen Moore and has hired Vic Fangio at defensive coordinator. With the additions to the roster and the internal expectations that come with big moves for a contender, the coaching staff’s functionality and consistency are what worry me more than anything. Nugget to know: Free agent addition Bryce Huff is still 26 years old and ranked eighth in pass rush win rate among edge rushers last season (22%). However, he made only 16 tackles on run plays, and the average tackle came after a gain of 3.4 yards, which ranked 75th among edge rushers. [BLG Note: The Eagles dropped from 1st last year to 5th this year. The Cowboys are 14th, the Commanders are 22nd, and the Giants are 29th.]
