One Eagles veteran has taken notice of Sydney Brown, who is impressing early in OTAs with reserves

PHILADELPHIA — Sydney Brown did not get drafted via the Philadelphia Eagles to be a reserve. There’s a chance to begin at protection on a protection that misplaced each C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Marcus Epps this offseason — a chance Brown does not wish to waste. 

During Thursday’s minicamp follow, Brown was once rotating on the second one workforce with Justin Evans and K’Von Wallace. He wasn’t getting his toes rainy, ensuring he was once getting spotted at the box via outworking his pageant and flying from sideline to sideline. 

Terrell Edmunds was once forward of Brown at the intensity chart, at the first workforce with Reed Blankenship. The veteran took notice of Brown’s efficiency, understanding he’s going to play a significant position in the protection quicker moderately than later. 

“He’s a hard worker. He doesn’t say too much. He’s always smiling, but you just know that he wants it,” Edmunds stated. “He simply is going in the market and offers 110%. He’s keen to be informed. He simply loves soccer. You can inform. 

“He gives 110% every day. He’s going to be a guy that’s going to be in this league for a while.”

Brown will proceed to achieve wisdom and be informed from Edmonds and Blankenship, however a chance is there for important taking part in time in the secondary. Outside of Darius Slay and James Bradberry at cornerback, the again finish of the Eagles protection is broad open.

Blankenship earned the correct to be at the first workforce getting into the offseason. He plans to stick there the use of the method that were given him at the first workforce as an undrafted unfastened agent final November, which solidified him as phase of the Eagles’ long term at protection. 

“Make sure you’re ready at all costs,” Blankenship stated. “You know, the rent is due every day. That’s what (Nick) Sirianni talks about, no matter what position you’re in.

“I have not felt like I’ve arrived but. It’s about staying humble, staying hungry, and that is the reason going to final all over my occupation.” 

Even with Edmunds and Brown at the first workforce, Brown is lurking. His play at the box is getting him spotted, alongside with his mindset off it.

“He loves the game of football,” stated Eagles secondary trainer D.Ok. McDonald. “He does and he works hard at it. He prepares. He asks tons of questions. And that’s on top of the skill that he has. His mindset. His growth mindset that he has of wanting to get better. 

“He’s by no means happy with the place he is at and the ones sorts of issues draw you to guys. You know the ones guys that experience that kind of mindset, they are at all times going to paintings exhausting and check out to toughen. And that is what he does on a regular basis.” 

Might no longer be lengthy prior to Brown will get his shot with the primary workforce.
