Left Outside Linebacker

  1. Nigel Bradham
  2. Joe Walker

Nigel Bradham was acquired by the Eagles in free agency and will likely start as the strongside linebacker. Bradham is hard-hitting and brings good aggressive play to the table, but also has the speed to cover tight ends and chase down runners. Backing him up could be Joe Walker, who the Eagles selected in the seventh round of this year’s draft. Walker brings solid special teams ability to the table, which will give him the edge over his competitors. His 4.5 40-yard dash time doesn’t look too shabby either.
