Eagles' Week 3 rookie report card includes striking gold with top two picks

The Eagles remain undefeated after continuing their winning streak over the Los Angeles Rams.

Aided by the Eagles' offense finding their footing, along with 2022 first-round pick Jordan Davis' game-winning field goal block, the Eagles remain one of six NFL teams still unbeaten going into Week 4. This week, the Eagles saw five rookies take snaps, led by Jihaad Campbell and Andrew Mukuba.

Eagles' Week 2 Rookie Report Card

Jihaad Campbell, LB

Campbell continues to be the prime jewel of the 2025 Eagles draft class. Campbell set a new career high in tackles with eight and provided a decent presence off the edge, along with being in coverage. Campbell didn't wow on the stat sheet; however, he continues to be a rising star on defense throughout the NFL.

Grade: B+

Andrew Mukuba, S

Like Campbell, Mukuba didn't have an eye-popping performance; he recorded three tackles in his second consecutive start. The continued play of Mukuba, coupled with Blankenship, Dejean, and Mitchell, gives the Eagles an extremely solid core in the secondary for the foreseeable future.

Grade: B

Smael Mondon Jr., LB

Mondon contributed 16 snaps on special teams and is still searching for his first shot on defense. Mondon is a late-round draft pick who has now carved out a role on special teams. He has yet to record a statistic this season.

Grade: C

Darius Cooper, WR

Cooper recorded 12 snaps in the game, equally splitting between six and six on offense and special teams. Unfortunately for Cooper, he left early in Week 3 due to a shoulder injury, ending his afternoon. His status moving forward is unknown.

Grade: C

Mac McWilliams, CB

McWilliams once again took the field for one snap in his second career NFL game. With the Eagles' struggles at CB2, fans will wonder if McWilliams will see some playing time on defense soon.

Grade: D

2025 Philadelphia Eagles Rookie Draft Class Overall

Overall, the Week 3 play of the 2025 rookie class didn't wow, but was extremely solid. The Eagles are still searching for a third rookie to step up, as much of the class's success leans heavily on Mukuba and Campbell. The Eagles may have a diamond in the rough with Darius Cooper, but his current shoulder injury could leave his status in doubt.

Overall Grade: B-
