Here are the studs.

Stud: Brandon Brooks, guard 

No list on the Eagles that has the word ‘stud’ attached is complete if Brandon Brooks‘ name isn’t attached to it. Can a guard get real consideration for the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Typically, we reserve that type of honor for tackles, but quietly, Brooks is crafting a Hall-of-Fame resume. It almost makes you think we were lied to. There’s no way this guy really tore his Achilles and returned to this level of play this quickly, is it?

Stud: Miles Sanders, running back 

Miles Sanders has done absolutely everything for the Eagles in 2019, and he’s done everything they’ve asked of him. Sure, he could explode through the hole more rather than dance, but those improvements will come with time. ‘The Birds’ got it right in the draft for a change.

Stud: Andre Dillard, left tackle

Let’s be totally honest. Jason Peters is past his prime, and it’s time to pass the torch. Fortunately for the Eagles, they’ve found their left tackle for, hopefully, the next 12 to 15 seasons in Andre Dillard. We’re all so used to seeing the Eagles screw up draft picks that it’s good to see them nail one, or in this case two. They hit the jackpot with Sanders and Dillard.
