The Philadelphia Eagles have a bright future highlighted by some amazing young stars. Everyone, including ESPN, is taking notice.

The Philadelphia Eagles are the reigning Super Bowl champions. If you’re a fan, it feels good to, both, type and say that. The fourth day of June marks the four-month anniversary of the night Philly won their first Lombardi Trophy in team history. Now, ‘The Birds’ approach the first season in team history as the reigning Super Bowl champions (there’s that reference again). Excitement is, again, at an all-time high.

Every franchise feels like they have a chance. The media, ITI included, can’t wait to examine every angle of our great country’s greatest game. As always, the individual players will play a role in the season’s outcome. In the case of the Eagles, they have one of the best and deepest rosters in the league.

Philly won football’s biggest game with so many important pieces missing. One can only imagine what the possibilities are if they’re at full strength.

There are quite a few building blocks for a successful campaign in 2018, and ESPN named a few of them. Let’s take a look at what they said.
