Three Eagles Who Could Breakout In 2022
The Eagles have seen several players over the last couple of years make drastic jumps in their play. Josh Sweat and Jordan Mailata are two of the biggest players that broke out last year. This Eagles roster has a lot of young talent that is ready to break out onto the scene. Here are three players who could breakout in 2022.
1. Kenneth Gainwell
The first player on this list is someone I am expecting a big year from in 2022. In his rookie year, Gainwell showed flashes of how dynamic he could be. Gainwell was easily the best pass-catching running back on the team as a rookie, and he will be the best once again this season. Gainwell had an up and down year last year. There was a stretch where he got a lot of playing time, then he went invisible. Gainwell can be one of the Eagles’ best weapons next season and I expect him to be a critical part of the Eagles’ offense.
2. Tyree Jackson
Tyree Jackson was one of the best stories out of training camp last season. Sadly for him, injuries have hit Jackson hard over the last year. Jackson fractured his back at the end of training camp which left him out until November. Jackson then tore his ACL in the Eagles’ last regular-season game against the Cowboys. While I don’t expect Jackson to be ready for the start of the season, I think he can have a good season for the Eagles whenever he gets back. Jackson was making plays all over the field in training camp last year and will only continue to elevate his game after changing his position from quarterback to tight end. Jackson is a great athlete who I am excited to see get back on the field whenever he is fully healthy.
3. Davion Taylor
For a team that desperately needs linebacker help, this would be a great year for Taylor to break out onto the scene. Taylor has also dealt with his fair share of injuries in his young career. The former third-round pick out of Colorado is now heading into his third year, and big things are expected for him. Taylor is the most athletic linebacker on this team right now and should see a bulk of playing time this year. Depending on how the Eagles draft and how training camp goes for Taylor, he could be a starter on the defense. I expect Taylor to be an impact player on the defense this year.
