Four Eagles players no one is talking about going into training camp

Training camp is on the horizon for Philadelphia, and the Eagles, like last year, have several unsung heroes ready to emerge from anonymity to bona fide playmakers come season's end.

While last year saw the emergence of Zack Baun, this season could see a couple of new players leave their mark on the NFL.

Will Shipley, RB

With A.J. Dillon a year removed from a neck injury and Kenneth Gainwell now in Pittsburgh, Shipley could be in line to emerge as RB2 in Philadelphia this season. The Clemson alum provides a solid option as a third-down back, with the ability to be a threat in the receiving game as well. Shipley also benefits from the departure of Britain Covey (now with the Rams), as Shipley can impact games as a return man as well.

Johnny Wilson, WR

Wilson enters his second year in Philadelphia, much like Shipley, bringing his 6'6 "frame, which may remind some Eagles fans of the Hakeem Butler experiment. Wilson is a tad slower than Butler with a 40-time of 4.52, however possesses better hands, body control, and quickness out of the break. Wilson could make an impact by providing a mismatch in the slot with his frame, also allowing him to make an impact as a tight end, similar to Logan Thomas, who has done so over the years.

Antwaun Powell-Ryland, OLB

"ARP" (which will be his nickname come the fall) could be an up-and-comer this season for the Eagles, who will be without Bryce Huff, Brandon Graham, Milton Williams, and Josh Sweat, who accounted for 19 out of the 41 Eagles sacks in 2024. "ARP" accounted for 25.5 sacks in his final two years at Virginia Tech, finding himself being taken by the Eagles in the 6th round. "ARP" does lack some burst, and at times has to focus on maximizing his technique to make up for average size and below-average length, but plays with a high motor that should warrant plenty of chaos for opposing offenses.

Ty Robinson, DT

Robinson brings versatility, with the ability to compete effectively both inside and outside on the Eagles' defensive front. Robinson spent six years at Nebraska amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the transfer portal, and a coaching change, opting to stick with the program rather than take the easy way out. Robinson possesses prototypical size, but lacks some of the athletic ability that his team, "ARP," has. Like "ARP" Robinson, he may not wow fans, but his effort and instincts will lead to a highly productive tenure with the Eagles.
