The Eagles a fresh off of OTAs and while they take some time off before meeting again in late July, there’s plenty to ponder about. From questions about the defense to potential free-agent signings. Philadelphia will have a busy summer but none busier than the summer that Nolan Smith is having. The first-round draft pick has been showing his hunger as he attended Von Millers Summit for pass rushers.
Take a look at the least in news and analysis for the Birds:
Eagles rookie Nolan Smith told to “take advantage of this opportunity”
The excitement that’s been buzzing around the Novacare complex this offseason has been second to none. This buzz grew tenfold once the Eagles made their big splashes in the first round of the draft. Of those picks was Nolan Smith. A Georgia product that has the potential to be the cream of the crop in this year’s class.
His ability to get after the quarterback has reminded many Eagles fans of the team’s current pass rusher, Haason Reddick.

Smith is quietly following those same steps as the team has him listed in the same position but his potential is much more than your regular linebacker.

Eagles OC Brian Johnson says that Jalen Hurts “works like a madman”
The relationship between the offensive play-caller and starting quarterback is the backbone of any great football franchise. Those two leaders of men must share a brain and finish each other’s sentences, synchronized in perfect harmony like ballet dancers.
Look no further than Doug Pederson and Nick Foles in Super Bowl LII: “You want Philly Philly? Let’s do it.” Pederson was the head coach, but he called the plays on that team. Fast forward to 2023. The Eagles’ lead play-caller is new offensive coordinator Brian Johnson who brings an invaluable new element to the job.
