Some thought T.J. Edwards would be the odd man out, but the Eagles' linebacker is shining at training camp.
“Not yet,” Edwards said after Thursday’s practice, one that saw him add a couple more pass breakups to his summer. “Couple practices in and so much more left to do. So much more I want to be better at. So much more I want to continue to grow my game with.
It’s time to forget about all 32 teams passing on him in the draft. It’s time to forget about that 4.77 time he posted in the 40 as the Wisconsin pro day. It’s time to stop thinking about Edwards like he’s some limited player in the NFL.“I think we had a good feel for T.J.,” defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon said.
In the first eight games of last season, Edwards played 36.8% of their defensive snaps and the Eagles had a 3-5 record. Over the next eight, he played 94.9% of their defensive snaps and they were 6-2.First eight games: Allowed 344.0 yards per game , 123.5 rushing yards per game , 220.6 passing yards per game , 23.9 points .
Especially not now as he enters his second year in this defense and looks even more comfortable. That comfort is the biggest difference, according to Edwards, in Year 2 of Gannon’s scheme.
