How Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is finding his way in talented Eagles linebacker room
Our Summary
The Philadelphia Eagles, typically linebacker-starved in recent decades, now boast a wealth of talent at the position. This includes a returning All-Pro, a promising rookie, and 24-year-old Nakobe Dean, who was performing at a Pro Bowl level before an injury. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is eager to learn from and compete alongside these players, believing that competition will enhance his skills. Despite injuries sidelining some teammates, Trotter has seized the opportunity to practice with the first-team defense during OTAs. The 22-year-old Trotter, the third-youngest Super Bowl champion in Eagles history, attributes his improvement to consistency and learning from experienced teammates. He remains focused on the upcoming season and takes pride in having achieved a Super Bowl ring at such a young age, even surpassing his father's accomplishments in this regard.
