In the eyes of Philadelphia Eagles insider Dave Spadaro, who should everybody aim to watch during 2019 training camp?

We’re almost there, Philadelphia Eagles fans! Just a little less than a week from now, the Birds will be back in town. While they won’t be out in the open for the fans to watch, we’re fortunate enough to be in an era where social media gives everybody an all-access pass to practice at the Nova Care Complex via tweets. Plus, we’ve got you covered over here at Inside the Iggles as well.

This year’s training camp is fitting to be a fun one. The last few years have given everybody a reason to be overly excited, and 2019 shouldn’t be any different. Back in 2017, the Eagles were coming off of a disappointing season, but they made vital changes to the roster, which made that year an exciting one. Then, last year, the Eagles were coming off of their first Super Bowl win.

This time around the Birds didn’t win it all, but they have perhaps the most talented team on paper during the new Doug Pederson era. Therefore, there’s more of a reason to be excited. We know who everybody will want to hear about this summer as DeSean Jackson is back in town, along with Vinny Curry and Brandon Graham.

On the other hand, people will be excited to hear about some newer acquisitions in Jordan Howard, Zach Brown, and Malik Jackson. However, which ‘under-the-radar’ type players should we be keeping an eye on? Recently, Eagles insider Dave Spadaro listed five players who are going to be intriguing heading into the new year. So with that, let’s take a look at the candidates.
