It's not even training camp but Eagles are already the best at a position group

One of the biggest question mark position groups on the 2024 Philadelphia Eagles unit was at linebacker. That is no longer the case. Zack Baun's emergence from a former backup in New Orleans to All-Pro status changed the views of the Eagles' linebackers. Nakobe Dean's breakout season also helped in making the group one of the best in the NFL. Pro Football Focus writer Dalton Wasserman had no problems crowning the Eagles' linebackers the best in the NFL in their latest rankings. "Philadelphia holds the top spot in these rankings with a stacked linebacker unit that only got better this offseason. They handed Zack Baun a well-deserved contract extension after he finished 2024 with a league-leading 90.2 PFF overall grade. Nakobe Dean wasn’t far behind, placing 11th among qualified linebackers (77.4). The team drafted insurance for Dean’s postseason injury in Alabama’s Jihaad Campbell, who was the 2025 class' best linebacker. Youngsters Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Smael Mondon Jr. also provide quality depth." Philad
