Kicker:

Okay, let’s be honest. Jake Elliott‘s kind of earned this job, hasn’t he?

Punter:

Cameron Johnston is in. Even if they bring another guy into compete, he’s still the guy.

Longsnapper:

Rick Lovato is your longsnapper. Everybody good here? Cool! Let’s move on to signal caller.

Quarterback (3)

Here are the guys: Carson Wentz, Nate Sudfeld, Luis Perez, and newly drafted Clayton Thorson. Some have expressed the idea that Philly will keep two quarterbacks on the active roster.

Traditional theories allow us to believe that three is the more realistic number. That theory grows legs when you take into account that the franchise, Carson Wentz, hasn’t been able to complete the last two seasons because of injury.

With that being said, pencil Wentz in as the starter, Sudfeld as the backup, and the guy Philly used a draft pick on, Clayton Thorson, as the emergency man.

There you have it, 53 guys. We can’t wait to hear the debates that start as a result of this one.
