AJ: Conor Strachan. Lots of people are going to vote for Zach Allen and Lukas Denis, but I think it’s going to be the returning linebacker that makes the difference for the Eagles. I loved the play of John Lamot last year, Kevin Bletzer showed glimpses, and Max Richardson will be a welcome return, but Strachan should be the field general at the linebacker position. He showed glimpses of being dominant in 2016, but I think he has a ton to prove this year and will really shore up a position that was a huge question mark last season.
