5. Andre Dillard
If he hasn’t shown us anything else, we know Andre Dillard has a competitive fire. Ask the two defensive teammates who learned recently that the rookie isn’t backing down from any veteran. Right now, the image of Cody Kessler being blindsided hangs over him slightly, but by now, you should have seen enough.
The Eagles have found Jason Peters heir apparent. Might he follow in the footsteps of ‘The Bodyguard’ and create a Hall-of-Fame resume of his own?
6. Andrew Sendejo
Before joining the Eagles, Philly’s fans had one of Andrew Sendejo‘s plays burned in their memories forever. Unfortunately, it wasn’t his best moments. He was the guy LeGarrette Blount ran over in the Eagles’ NFC Championship Game win over the Minnesota Vikings.
If you’re a superfan, you can still hear FOX’s Joe Buck yelling ‘Touchdown… Just bulled his way in…’
Two years later, Sendejo’s a member of the good guys, and honestly, it’s been hard to find any bad tape. He figures to play a key role in the defense’s success in 2019.
