The Philadelphia Eagles need to rely on youth as they plan for their future.

It’s a new era for the Philadelphia Eagles. There are only a handful of guys left from the Super Bowl 52 roster and that chapter is over with. Doug Pederson and Carson Wentz are out and Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts are in.

This is the first year in what Howie Roseman dubbed a “transition period.” Roseman has been adamant about getting younger and faster and he has proven that belief with his 2021 offseason moves.

The 2021 season for the Eagles is more about development and getting answers about the question marks on this roster than it is about competing for a championship.

From quarterback to the wide receiver corps, to the secondary, the Eagles need to know what they have before they can turn this team into a contender. There are five current Eagles that are vital to this team moving forward.
