The Sleeper Pick Who’s Dominating Eagles Camp

Philadelphia, PA – June 3, 2025

He wasn’t the loudest name on draft night. He wasn’t the media darling. And he certainly wasn’t who most fans expected to steal the spotlight at Eagles camp. But now, just weeks into OTAs, the buzz in South Philly is loud and clear — this so-called sleeper pick is dominating.

Coaches, teammates, and insiders alike are raving about the young defender whose explosiveness off the edge is turning every rep into a statement. While veterans jog through drills, this young Eagle attacks with relentless energy, drawing comparisons to some of the team’s fiercest past pass rushers.

One NFC scout, watching a recent session, remarked: “He’s everywhere. If I didn’t know better, I’d say he’s been in the league three years already.” Another team insider whispered that “he’s outworking guys who’ve started in playoff games.” The contrast is stark — and undeniable.

This surprise standout wasn’t even expected to push for a starting role right away, but with his speed, tenacity, and growing comfort in the Eagles’ defensive scheme, the conversation is shifting fast. Veteran linemen have reportedly been taken aback by his hand technique and natural leverage. A veteran O-lineman, speaking anonymously, said: “He’s got that twitch — it’s rare. He’ll make a name for himself this year, no doubt.”

Beyond the eye test, his impact is showing up on tape. According to internal camp reports, he’s consistently blowing up plays, forcing coaches to reshuffle lineups just to contain him. And the media? They're starting to catch on. Dave Spadaro hinted on his podcast that “this kid could be the most important rookie not named Mitchell or Campbell.”

It’s too early to crown anyone, but if early practices are any indication, this once-overlooked rookie could be the defensive spark Philly didn’t know it needed.

Don’t blink. The breakout is already happening.
