While the Eagles wide receivers will be the focus of speculation until the season starts, there’s one group that should draw just as much attention on the other side of the ball. In 2017, the Eagles had a very disruptive defensive line. They were healthy, the rotation was phenomenal and they had a leadership presence in Chris Long that has been missed ever since his retirement.
Somehow, someway, the Eagles were able to retain the heart of their D-line in Brandon Graham last offseason. They followed that with the signing of veteran DT Malik Jackson. The hype was there for Jackson as the Eagles were searching far and wide for a stud to pair with Cox on the interior after Jernigan’s nagging injuries.
