The Philadelphia Eagles have a talented defense, but perhaps the weakest and most important part of this defensive unit is STILL with the cornerback position.

The secondary has haunted the Philadelphia Eagles for several seasons now. There are a number of player heading into training camp vying for what seems, at least, one or maybe even two starting spots on the outside of the secondary. Leodis McKelvin, Nolan Carroll, Eric Rowe, Jalen Mills and even JaCorey Shephard are right in the mix to prove they deserve a shot at starting.

The two names that jump off of the list are Rowe and Mills. Both are two young corners trying to make their mark on a revamped defense. Is it time for the Eagles to place these two young corners into the starting line-up for good?

Let’s take a look at why this could be a good decision for the Eagles in 2016.
