Philadelphia will officially move past Super Bowl 59 next Friday, when they finally unveil their gigantic championship rings just days before reporting to the NovaCare Complex for training camp. Nick Sirianni's team is focused on having a singular goal for the 2025 NFL regular season. Howie Roseman orchestrated another roster makeover in free agency, the 10-player NFL Draft, and several talented undrafted free agents. The Organized Team Activities and now the Mandatory Minicamp have concluded, and Philadelphia will get a five-week break before returning to the NovaCare Complex.
Training Camp begins in late July, with July 22 as the report day, followed by a practice on July 23. Although a surprise move or two could still be on the way, the majority of the work has been completed. After watching 12 players depart in free agency, Roseman added two dynamic SEC linebackers, an All-American pass rusher, three offensive linemen, and an accomplished quarterback from Philadelphia.
As we await the arrival of training camp, we're ranking every Eagles position group by chance of making the 53-man roster.
1-Jalen Hurts
2-Tanner McKee
3-Kyle McCord: Draft rookie
4-Dorian Thompson-Robinson
Hurts is the reigning Super Bowl MVP, and he'll enter 2025 with his fourth offensive coordinator in five years with the Eagles. After Philadelphia traded Kenny Pickett to Cleveland, Tanner McKee became the unquestioned backup quarterback. Dorian Thompson-Robinson offers an athletic option, but he'll likely be the odd man out after Howie Roseman drafted Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord with pick No. 181 in the sixth round. The St. Joe's Prep star attended Ohio State before transferring and heading to Syracuse, and he created separation between himself and Thompson-Robinson.
1-Saquon Barkley
2-Will Shipley
3-AJ Dillon
t-4 -Lew Nichols
t-4 -ShunDerrick Powell (undrafted rookie)
6- Keilan Robinson
7-Montrell Johnson Jr. (undrafted rookie)
Barkley earned NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors from the Associated Press and finished as a finalist for Most Valuable Player in his debut with the Eagles. Philadelphia signed former Packers running back A.J. Dillon to a one-year deal. Dillon sat out 2024 but offers a physical contrast to Barkley's elite athleticism. Will Shipley continues to improve, and he'll be the third running back. Keilan Robinson appeared in six games in his rookie season, seeing most of his action on special teams.
Philadelphia added two undrafted rookies in Montrell Johnson Jr. (Florida) and ShunDerrick Powell (Central Arkansas).
Johnson, a 5-foot-11-inch, 216-pound running back, wrapped up an impressive college career with over 3,000 rushing yards and 33 rushing touchdowns. Known for his powerful running style, big-play ability, and reliable hands out of the backfield, Johnson became a solid running back for the Gators after transferring from Louisiana.
A former Sun Belt Freshman of the Year and an East-West Shrine Bowl participant, Johnson made an impact everywhere he played. Powell rushed for over 4,000 yards in his collegiate career with 42 total touchdowns. He had eight 100-yard games in 2024. The two-time FCS All-American is a three-down running back and potential special-teams standout.
Ben VanSumeren
The former Michigan State linebacker is a special-teams standout who will transition full-time to the fullback position.
1-A.J. Brown
2-DeVonta Smith
3-Jahan Dotson
4-Danny Gray
t5-Avery Williams
t5-Johnny Wilson
7-Ainias Smith
8-Terrace Marshall Jr.
9-Elijah Cooks
10-Darius Cooper (undrafted rookie)
11-Taylor Morin (undrafted rookie)
12-Giles Jackson (Tryout)
A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are obvious roster spots. Jahan Dotson had his fifth-year option declined after catching 19 of 33 targets for 216 yards in 17 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2024, following his acquisition in a trade from the Washington Football Team. He also rushed once for 13 yards. Despite his struggles, Dotson played 649 offensive snaps during the regular season for Philadelphia, working as a No. 3 receiver behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Danny Gray was the off-season standout and will battle Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith for a roster spot. Terrace Marshall was signed to a one-year deal, offering elite athleticism from the slot, but a roster spot could be difficult.
1-Dallas Goedert
2-Grant Calcaterra
3-Kylen Granson
4-Harrison Bryant
5-EJ Jenkins
6-Nick Muse
7-Cameron Latu
Dallas Goedert is back on a restructured deal, and it wasn't a rough decision after the veteran (team-record 52 career playoff catches) led the Eagles in receptions (17) and receiving yards (215) in the postseason. Philadelphia has Grant Calcaterra as the backup after signing Kylen Granson and Harrison Bryant.
1-Lane Johnson
2-Jordan Mailata
3-Landon Dickerson
4-Cam Jurgens
5-Tyler Steen
6-Kendall Lamm
7-Myles Hinton-Drafted Rookie
8-Cameron Williams- Drafted Rookie
9-Drew Kendall-Drafted Rookie
10-Brett Toth
11-Trevor Keegan
12-Matt Pryor/Hollin Pierce (Undrafted Rookie)
14-Darian Kinnard
15-Laekin Vakalahi -Roster Exempt
16-Marcus Tate-Undrafted rookie)
According to PFF, Jordan Mailata (96.9) led the entire NFL in offensive and run-blocking grades (94.9). In addition, Mailata ranked 2nd in the NFL with a 91.7 pass-blocking grade, behind Tristan Wirfs (93.7). The Eagles acquired Kenyon Green from the Texans for C.J. Gardner-Johnson, and while he's a former first-round pick, the former Texas A&M star was the 76th highest-graded guard in the NFL out of 77 candidates, according to PFF.
Former Alabama offensive tackle and third-round pick Tyler Steen was slightly better, landing at 75th with a 40.7 grade from PFF. There will be competition for this spot, and it's a noticeable downgrade after Mekhi Becton's exit. Lane Johnson ranked 1st among NFL RTs in PFF pass-blocking grade (88.1), pressure percentage (2.2%), and knockdown percentage (0.2%). He allowed zero sacks and 1 QB hit in 451 pass-blocking snaps.
The Eagles added more depth in the draft by selecting Drew Kendall, Myles Hinton, and Cameron Williams.
