Nigel Bradham

Just like McLeod, Nigel Bradham is another signing that occurred in Doug Pederson’s first season as coach. Since then, he has been the only consistent cog in the linebacker core. He has been or tied for the team’s leading tackler and missed only two games the past three seasons.

The Eagles don’t have veteran Jordan Hicks anymore as he signed with the Arizona Cardinals. Bradham will have to be an even bigger leader in a linebacker unit featuring newcomer Zach Brown, young guys Nathan Gerry and Kamu Grugier-Hill, and Paul Worrilow, who is coming back from injury.
