One Eagles player already turned OTAs into a personal launchpad

There are many storylines developing at Philadelphia Eagles OTAs, but one player continues to be mentioned as one of the most impressive performers over the last three weeks.

A lot of praise from the media has gone to new Eagles cornerback Riq Woolen, who might be the most impressive player from OTAs. While the first two weeks were really good for Woolen, this week is easily the best work he has put together since being in Philly.

On Tuesday, The Athletic's Zach Berman talked about how good he was in coverage, as he had to face off against DeVonta Smith and played him well. Woolen continued that dominance on the final day of OTAs as he managed to pick off Jalen Hurts and sack the quarterback as well.

Riq Woolen might be even better than fans expected

Last season with the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks was an up-and-down season for Woolen, as he was in and out of the lineup, but he reclaimed the starter spot in the playoffs and dominated. He proved to everyone in the postseason that he deserves to be a starter elsewhere in the league.

It's such a welcome sight for Eagles fans, as last year the team struggled at CB2 between Adoree' Jackson and Kelee Ringo, who did not separate by much. Philly showed their regret at the corner by trading for three during the season, which led them to cough up $12 million to bring in Woolen.

This has brought a change in the guard at cornerback for the Eagles, as they may arguably have the best and deepest room in the NFL. Woolen is getting all the attention now, but everyone knows that he's got a couple of good partners at the position with All-Pros Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.

Philly is counting their blessings that they might have finally solved their CB2 problems after over a year of concern, as Woolen looks to be the real deal.
