Former division rival James Bradberry makes early impact for Eagles
James Bradberry plays in the shadows opposite star cornerback Darius Slay, but the former Giant's strong play is one of the reasons the Eagles defense has allowed the ninth-fewest points, third-fewest yards and forced the most turnovers (10) through four weeks.
In four games, Bradberry has 10 tackles, four passes deflected and a pick-six among two interceptions. On 24 targets, the 29-year-old has allowed 11 catches for 96 yards and held opponents without a touchdown as the primary defender, per Pro Football Reference.
In the post-game locker room after the Eagles' Week 4 win over Jacksonville, Slay wondered why the Giants let Bradberry walk.
Bradberry flashed a smile and said, "You gotta ask the Giants that."
Here's a snapshot of his stellar play:
In the offseason, Bradberry signed a one-year, $7.5 million deal with incentives with the Eagles. If he continues his strong play, he could earn an even bigger deal this offseason.
