Two Eagles Who Need a Good Training Camp
Training camp is finally approaching.
On July 25th, the Eagles will take the field at the NovaCare complex.
Let’s take a look at two Eagles who need to have a good training camp.
Quez Watkins
Watkins is coming off a season that was full of mistakes. His fumbled ball in the Washington game and his dropped touchdown in the Super Bowl will haunt Eagles fans forever. Quez was coming off a 2021 season where everyone thought he would take a leap and be better in 2022.
Last year he only had 354 receiving yards and three touchdowns. In the postseason, he had one catch on three targets for eight yards. This is not good enough for the Eagles, and they signed Olamide Zaccheaus to give Watkins some competition. If Zacchaeus outplays Watkins in camp, then the Eagles will likely move on from Quez via trade or by just cutting him.
Cam Jurgens
Unlike Watkins, Cam Jurgens will be on the roster no matter what this season. He needs to have a good camp because if he doesn’t, he will remain on the bench for another season. He will compete with Tyler Steen for the starting right guard spot. If he fails to win this battle, that is a waste of another season for a second-round pick. Last year he wasn’t going to start over Kelce, but now he has a chance to get in there.
The Eagles did not spend a valuable second-round pick on a guy just to watch him on the bench for his first two seasons. It is worth noting that a lot of Eagles beat writers and reporters do not see Jurgens as a guard, and they predict Steen will win the job.
If these two players can’t gather some momentum in training camp, it is going to be highly disappointing this season.
