As we prepare ourselves for football’s long-awaited return, questions abound regarding this new look Philadelphia team. With Howie Roseman looking to transition to a younger, more athletic squad, some familiar faces have walked out the door to give way to new up-and-comers. One of the players slated for a significantly increased role is last year’s addition, Duke Riley.
While the linebacker rotation has not fully sorted itself out yet — and may not for some time — the rumor mill has it that Riley could be a big part of the Birds plans in 2020. T.J. Edwards and Nate Gerry should occupy the first two LB spots, but the third is still up in the air with Duke being pressed by a number of other young players.
