Vic Fangio names Eagles’ deepest position on defense

Vic Fangio identifies what he sees as the Eagles' deepest position group, and the answer he gives might come across to many as a slight surprise.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has named the team's linebacker position as the deepest on defense, a surprising statement given his previous focus on the defensive tackle room. The linebacker corps includes standout players Zach Baun and Jihaad Campbell, who are considered stars, along with other talented individuals such as Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Smael Mondon, and rookie Deontae Lawson.

Fangio's assessment suggests that the Eagles' strongest collection of talent may be standing behind the line of scrimmage, potentially contributing to their push for another championship.
