Jalen Hurts on the Super Bowl ring he received: “It’s behind me.” (Figuratively. He’s not sitting in front of it physically.) #Eagles
Saquon Barkley was asked if Will Shipley can maybe take over Kenny Gainwell role. Saquon said not maybe, he definitely can. Saquon also said Shipley is the smartest RB in the position room. “Kind of pisses me off how smart he is, to be honest.” #Eagles
Saquon Barkley said Howie Roseman asked him: what’s better, the Super Bowl confetti or the Super Bowl ring? Saquon said the ring. #Eagles
Lane Johnson says Tyler Steen has developed and is playing with more confidence. #Eagles
Jordan Mailata says Jalyx Hunt is “special.” “He’s going to be a star.” Mailata compared Hunt’s ability to cut on a dime to that of Micah Parsons’. #Eagles
Jordan Mailata: “We ain’t shit. We ain’t nothing. We’re out here to prove it again. We have to earn it. We’re not defending nothing.”
Jordan Mailata says the Eagles aren’t the defending champions. He says they’re the 2024 champions and it’s now a new season.
A.J. Brown: “I truly feel like I’m the best in the league.” #Eagles
A.J. Brown says he calls Cooper DeJean “All-Pro Coop” or “APC.” Pushing him to keep building on his impressive rookie season. #Eagles
A.J. Brown says Terrace Marshall is “going to make the [wide receiver] room very uncomfortable, and that’s a great thing” in terms of added competition. #Eagles
A.J Brown on receiving his Super Bowl ring: “Probably one of the best feelings I’ve experienced. I truly felt like a true champion. I only came for the ring, I didn’t eat. That ring was speechless, man. Trying to find something to do with it.” #Eagles
The Eagles listed Jihaad Campbell as limited but he seemed to be full go in his first practice. Next test will be seeing if he’s held back at all when the pads eventually go on.
Cooper DeJean took another rep at safety next to Reed Blankenship in base defense. Adoree’ Jackson up at first team RCB now in 11-on-11. #Eagles
Tanner “Vick” McKee took off running on a QB keeper that tricked the entire defense. #Eagles
Jalen Hurts deep along the left sideline to A.J. Brown. Kelee Ringo didn’t have bad coverage but Brown was able to make the contested grab. #Eagles
Fullback Ben VanSumeren got a carry with the 3rd team offense. Has some juice as a runner. #Eagles
Eagles playing John Cena’s entrance music here at practice. I can’t see him though.
