The Eagles acquired Terrell Edmunds in March and Olamide Zaccheaus in April.

On a roster loaded with talent, one that features both franchise legends and highly-touted rookies, it can be easy to forget about some of the new guys or acquisitions that we aren't as familiar with. Check both boxes for safety Terrell Edmunds and wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus.

The former enters year six, his first with the Eagles, and is a former first-round selection. Don't be shocked when he exceeds expectations and becomes someone fans are cheering for. He has 410 tackles, five sacks, five interceptions, and 26 pass breakups on his regular-season resume. He has also added 12 tackles in two postseason starts.

The latter is a former undrafted prospect entering year five. This is also his first with the Eagles. He began his career with the Atlanta Falcons.

He'll challenge Quez Watkins for the slot wide receiver position. Some believe he'll win it. In 55 career games that include 23 starts, he has hauled in 94 receptions resulting in 1,328 receiving yards, a 14.1 yards-per-reception average, and eight trips to the end zone.

O.Z. is also someone that can help on kick or punt returns. Three punt returns produced 36 yards last season. Two kick returns went for 41 yards.
