It's the start of Eagles' rookie camp and the team has announced their five draft picks' numbers. Let's take a look and quick analysis:
Jordan Davis - #90
#90 hasn't had much luck lately for the Eagles:
Ryan Kerrigan - 2021
Bruce Hector - 2019
Treyvon Hester - 2018
Justin Hamilton - 2017
Marcus Smith - 2014-2016
Clifton Geathers - 2013
Antonio Dixon - 2010-2012
Davis will look to be the best #90 for the Eagles since Corey Simon (won't be hard to do)
Cameron Jergens - #51
Another not so great history with #51:
Shareef Miller - 2019
Steven Means - 2016-2017
Emmanuel Acho - 2013-2014
Jamar Cheney - 2011-2012
Antwan Barnes - 2010
With Jergens projecting to be the center of the future, the Eagles hope he can wear #51 like Alex Mack has in his career.
Nakobe Dean - #17
Poor Reid Sinnett, he loses his number before wearing it on the field. But this is a power move for Dean, as he keeps his college number and will want to show his doubters that #17 will be just as productive in the NFL. Brief history:
KeeSean Johnson - 2021
Alshon Jeffery - 2017-2020
Nelson Agholor - 2015-2016
Arrelious Benn - 2013
Kyron Johnson - #58
#58 went from two of the best defensive players the Eagles have had in the 2000s to being given to two players who didn't do much.
Genard Avery - 2019-2021
L.J. Fort - 2019
Jordan Hicks - 2015-2018
Trent Cole - 2005-2014
Grant Calcaterra - #47
FINALLY SOMEONE TO GIVE #47 LIFE. He HAS to be better than the last guy... right?
