Disappointing Eagles Rookies Called NFL’s Top ‘Breakout Candidates’
Disappointing Eagles rookies predicted to bounce back in second half of the season. The post Disappointing Eagles Rookies Called NFL’s Top ‘Breakout Candidates’ appeared first on HEAVY.
The Philadelphia Eagles have had a disappointing season, with little to no young talent on the roster. The team used their first two draft picks on skill players - wide receiver Makai Lemon and tight end Eli Stowers - but both seem to be busts. Lemon's injury issues and Stowers' inability to adapt to a pro-style offense have both contributed to the Eagles' struggles.
Despite this, Fox Sports NFL reporter Greg Auman has named both rookies as potential breakout candidates for the second half of the season in his list of the NFL's top talent. Lemon, a USC product, has shown flashes of promise with a touchdown catch and solid yardage totals in recent games. Stowers, a Vanderbilt standout, has yet to see significant playing time due to injuries, but could potentially become a reliable TE2 if given more opportunities.
The Eagles are currently 2-7 and head into their bye week with a tough matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, whose Week 11 game will likely have a significant impact on their season.
