Eagles' Rowe takes field for rookie minicamp

The Eagles' top two picks lined up against each other on the first day of rookie minicamp on Friday, with second-round defensive back Eric Rowe covering first-round wide receiver Nelson Agholor during drills.

This was notable not only because the two players are expected to be contributors this year, but also because Rowe played cornerback.

When the two were last on a field together, Agholor played wide receiver for Southern California and Rowe played safety at Utah. Rowe, who has the ability to play both safety and cornerback, is starting his Eagles career at cornerback.

"Going against him gave me a little taste of what to expect from other teams," Rowe said.
