Eagles Acquire Underrated CB Bennett, Develop Parsons-Comparable Rookies

The Philadelphia Eagles have been active in bolstering their defense ahead of the new NFL season, highlighted by acquiring cornerback Jakorian Bennett from the Las Vegas Raiders in a trade that has been praised for adding a highly underrated young talent to their secondary. Defensive tackle Moro Ojomo has also emerged as a standout during training camp, showing strong interior pressure and earning recognition as a potential star despite his relatively undersized frame. Additionally, the Eagles' first-round pick Jihaad Campbell, a linebacker from Alabama, has impressed teammates and coaches alike with his aggressive playing style, drawing comparisons from running back Saquon Barkley to Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons, underscoring Campbell's promising impact on the Eagles' linebacker corps. Barkley has been vocal about Campbell's raw talent and enthusiasm, noting his need to develop better body control and awareness during practice while appreciating his aggressive approach. This emerging defensive talent pool, including Bennett, Ojomo, and Campbell, positions the Eagles for a strong defense as they begin their Super Bowl title defense. The team’s offseason moves and training camp developments reflect a focused effort to maintain their championship-caliber performance.
