EDGE war ignites at Eagles training camp — what looked like a locked-in position is now red-hot as young guns storm the spotlight
What was once seen as a settled position has now become the most electrifying battleground in Eagles camp. With Haason Reddick gone and Nolan Smith expected to step up as the clear EDGE leader, few anticipated just how fiercely the rest of the roster would respond.
But that’s Philly — nothing is guaranteed, and nobody plays safe.
Nolan Smith, fresh off a 10.5-sack breakout in the back half of last season, came in as the presumed top dog. And while he’s looked every bit the rising star, the camp has been lit on fire by a wave of emerging threats. Chief among them? Jalyx Hunt, the second-year edge rusher who’s been terrorizing offensive linemen with his freakish first step and relentless motor. Word is, he’s making coaches seriously rethink their depth chart.
Then there’s Josh Uche, the ex-Patriot with a point to prove. His 11.5-sack campaign in 2022 wasn’t a fluke, and he’s moving like a man hungry to reclaim that form. Azeez Ojulari, finally healthy after a rocky stint with the Giants, has also turned heads with his explosiveness and versatility. And let’s not forget veteran Brandon Graham, who may be in the twilight of his career but still sets the tone every single day.
What’s unfolding at NovaCare Complex isn’t just a competition — it’s a full-blown arms race.
With whispers of Howie Roseman possibly targeting Trey Hendrickson in a bold move to complete this EDGE arsenal, one thing is clear: Philly’s pass rush in 2025 could be the stuff of nightmares.
If you're an NFL quarterback, you better start checking your blind side now — because something monstrous is brewing in Philly.
