Daily News | Eagles sign draft picks Tyler Steen and Sydney Brown to rookie contracts
on Thursday to rookie contracts, leaving just first-rounder Nolan Smith and fourth-round pick Kelee Ringo unsigned among the team’s seven-player 2023 draft class.
Steen, an offensive lineman out of Alabama, and Brown, a safety out of Illinois, were selected one pick apart in the third round . They join defensive tackle Jalen Carter , quarterback Tanner McKee , and defensive tackle Moro Ojomo as signed draft picks.Advertisement Both Steen and Brown could contribute as rookies, as they both walk into positions without established starters. While the 6-foot-6, 321-pound Steen played primarily tackle at Alabama and previously at Vanderbilt, he lined up atearlier this month, and figures to get a long look there from Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland.
Brown, a five-year starter in college, also has a chance to contend for playing time right away. The Eagles arein C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Marcus Epps, with free-agent acquisition Terrell Edmunds and 2022 undrafted safety Reed Blankenship being candidates to start. The Eagles also signed the versatile Justin Evans and bring back K’Von Wallace at the position. Brown plans to show up at training camp in July ready to compete.
“Absolutely, but I think right now it’s just about learning the defense,” Brown said of being ready to play as a rookie. “Competing, just being able to be the best version of myself every day, earning respect. That’s my mindset going into this. Yeah, there’s an opportunity to start, but it’s about what I do and how I earn the respect of the guys around me, especially the guys that have been here much longer than I have.
