Three young Philadelphia Eagles are certain to keep the adrenaline pumping in the City of Brotherly Love this coming season.

Even though the Philadelphia Eagles fell short in the Super Bowl last year, the City of Brotherly Love knows that this team has what it takes to make it back to the promised land in February of 2024. That fact isn’t in question.

Philly has a nice mix of young talent and veteran players. Just look at the defensive side of the ball alone. Brandon Graham and Haason Reddick‘s leadership and effort led to huge sack numbers and both personal and team success.

Don’t forget about the secondary when you think about this defense. James Bradberry and Darius Slay have an eye for the ball, as they combined for six interceptions in 2022.

On the offensive side, veterans like Lane Johnson and Jason Kelce make it tough on opposing defenders who are looking to get in the backfield to interrupt plays. It isn’t just the older guys who have all the fun though. The Birds enjoy youth in some areas and inexperience in others.

They may have watched some of their younger talent leave, but again, there’s a nice mix here. Expect the 25 and under crowd to grow up in a hurry as they did during the most recent season.

A.J. Brown turns 26 in June. Jalen Hurts is 24. Thankfully, they don’t have to do it alone.

Here’s a list of three other guys that we expect to take yet another step in 2023 and move the needle. These guys should move the needle and keep the adrenaline flowing all season.
