The Philadelphia Eagles have flipped their roster from one of the oldest in the NFL to one of the five youngest, according to recent ESPN rankings. This youth movement features standout defenders like Jalen Carter and Quinion Mitchell, plus rising stars are running back and offensive line, all 25 are younger. With the offseason in full swing in the NFL draft on the horizon, eyes are on five second-year players who could break out in the next season. Minebacker Jihad Campbell impressed as a rookie with 80 tackles despite his shoulder injury, earning a top 15 grade from pro football focus, and helping justify letting the Kobe Dean walk in free agency. Offensive tackles Holland Pierce and Cameron Williams bring size and potential to the line. The six foot A-Pierre spin last year on the practice squad after going undrafted, while sixth-rounder Williams started strong at Texas before A. Shorter setback, positioning both as possible successors to veteran Lane Johnson.

After starring at Georgia, defensive back Andrew McCuba led the team with two picks before an ankle fracture, and tackled Ty Robinson, showed flashes of dominance.
