3. Nigel Bradham

Somewhere deep down inside of Nigel Bradham, there’s a notion that tells him, deep down, he’d rather be playing outside linebacker, but whether by happenstance or necessity, he’s kind of evolved into the Eagles defacto middle linebacker in Jim Schwartz‘s scheme.

He calls out the signals, and how he goes the defense goes. He’s always been one of the guys that this Eagles team can rely on. Now, they need even more from him.

4. Malcolm Jenkins

If ever you need to be reminded of what Malcolm Jenkins‘ leadership means to this team, just look at any NFL Films presentation of Super Bowl LII. Jenkins was mic’d up for that one. He’s done all that he can in 2019, but whether for or unfair, we all need more from him. If you could run him down and ask him, you can best believe he wouldn’t mind being given the added pressure.

5. Jalen Mills

The Eagles will see some good skill players down the stretch. The defense will need to continue the upward trend that they’ve been on. Jalen Mills and the secondary will need to continue to shine.
