Who are the guys that don’t get the national attention that Eagles fans need to know?
Mullenax: I can think of three off the top of my head. There’s linebacker Devon Kennard who led the NFL in sacks after Week 1 of the NFL season. He notched three against a lightning-fast rookie quarterback, Kyler Murray, who, as you know, was making his debut with the Arizona Cardinals.
Defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson is a former second-round selection who has found a new life for himself in Patricia’s defensive scheme. The former Alabama Crimson Tide standout could be a name Eagles’ fans hear early and often.
Finally, there’s 2019 sixth-round running back Ty Johnson. The rookie flashed top-end speed in the offseason and showed the Lions enough to allow the team to believe that they could part ways with both Theo Riddick and C.J. Anderson. This kid is an electric playmaker and should be Kerryon Johnson‘s primary backup against Philadelphia this coming Sunday.
