ANALYSIS
Because the undisputed authority on jersey quantity evaluation, listed below are my extremely vital takes:
It’s vital to keep in mind that these numbers usually are not essentially everlasting. Some numbers will probably be freed up when the roster is trimmed right down to 53 gamers. For instance: Quinyon Mitchell wore No. 30 final offseason earlier than switching to No. 27 shortly earlier than the common season started.
No. 30 for Campbell isn’t very best. That’s simply not a linebacker quantity (though it’s extra of a LB quantity than an edge rusher quantity). He did put on it at Alabama earlier than switching to No. 11 final season, so, at the very least there’s some historical past there. Nevertheless it’d be good to see him swap. No. 59 may very well be good if Thomas Booker IV doesn’t make the workforce or is prepared to vary his quantity. I feel No. 95 may’ve regarded cool for a go speeding linebacker, like the way it labored for Mychal Kendricks.
No. 24 for Mukuba is just not dangerous. We haven’t seen a full-time security put on that for the Eagles since Corey Graham in 2018 (no, I’m not counting James Bradberry final yr). Mukuba wore No. 4 at Texas so he’s retaining a component of his school look.
No. 95 is a stable search for Robinson. Fairly simple.
McWilliams is No. 22 since Kelee Ringo apparently modified to No. 7 (belief me, we’ll have extra on that after we get official affirmation on veteran jersey numbers). That’s a extremely good get for a Day 3 rookie. He’s going to have a profitable profession.
Smael Mondon Jr. is wise to take Oren Burks’ previous quantity. If he can grow to be what Burks was for the Eagles, that will be a extremely good final result. Not an important quantity in a vaccum however there are worse appears to be like for a backup LB.
Kendall is listed at a middle/guard and No. 66 matches that description.
Oof. No. 19 for McCord is not any good. He ought to intention to vary if/when he will get the chance. In any other case, he doesn’t stand an opportunity at having success within the NFL.
No. 78 and No. 73 are positive for Hinton and Williams, respectively, as backup offensive linemen. From the 2, Williams has extra of a guard quantity.
APR ought to be completely happy as a result of No. 93 is a good quantity for a late Day 3 decide. However as a smaller edge rusher, the large quantity doesn’t actually match him. However perhaps he’s good to attempt to make himself seem greater than he actually is.
Cooper and Dixon sharing a quantity on totally different sides of the ball is a reminder that UDFAs are preventing an uphill battle to earn respect.
The Eagles haven’t had a participant who wore No. 37 in a sport for them since Mac McCain in 2021. Hook has a chance to vary that. Marcus Epps first wore No. 37 in Philly earlier than switching to No. 22. Perhaps Hook can observe in his footsteps.
I’m unmoved by the Brandon Johnson, Montrell Johnson Jr., and B.J. Mayes numbers.
No. 45 is just not a very good search for a large receiver however Morin may get a brand new quantity if he’s capable of set up himself as the brand new Britain Covey and make the workforce.
Pierce sporting No. 63 is bizarre as a result of he has sort out measurement however that’s extra of a guard quantity. For what it’s value, he was seen lining up at guard on the primary day of rookie minicamp.
No. 39 is a becoming quantity for Powell as a participant who probably profiles as a scatback.
