Eagles News: Derek Barnett among 2019 breakout candidates

5 Eagles breakout candidates in 2019 - PhillyVoice
As we noted early in April, when the Eagles traded Michael Bennett this offseason, most observers rightfully pointed out that Bennett was the team’s most productive edge rusher in 2018, as he had nine sacks, 15 tackles for loss, and an impressive 30 hits on the quarterback. With Barnett coming back as the starter at RDE in 2019, many consider that to be a downgrade from Bennett. I couldn’t possibly disagree more. In Barnett’s first four games, when he was healthy, he was a very disruptive player.
