One day of OTAs is enough to witness the stacked depth of Eagles' offense

It only took one day of observations from the Philadelphia Eagles' OTAs to realize how good this offense is going to be in 2025.

Last year's offense was ranked eighth in total offense, averaging 367.2 yards per game. The rushing attack was even better as the Eagles were just behind the Baltimore Ravens in rushing yards per game with 179.3.

Going into OTAs, there weren't many concerns with the offense outside of figuring out who would be the right guard on the offensive line. Fans got to see and read how good the offensive skill players are going to be with just one day's work.

Offensive skill players stole the show at the Eagles' OTAs

First, it is worth mentioning that two of the Eagles' top wide receivers did not participate fully in Wednesday's workout. DeVonta Smith was a no-show at OTAs, and A.J. Brown participated in individual drills but not team drills. Backup receiver Johnny Wilson also did not participate in team drills.

The workout focused on the depth of the wide receivers, with Jahan Dotson, Terrance Marshall, and Ainias Smith serving as starters for practice. 94 WIP Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks shared some stats throughout the day as he had Dotson catching all three of his targets and Marshall catching one of his two targets.

There was attention on Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert as he returned to the field for the first time since his restructured contract after months of speculation as to whether he would be traded or released. Goedert had an impressive showing at OTAs, catching five of his six targets.

What caught everyone's attention was the running backs' involvement in the passing game. Shorr-Parks reported that backup running back Will Shipley had a big day, catching all five of his targets, while A.J. Dillon also got in on the action, catching his one target.

This is just a small glimpse into what the Eagles' offense will look like. The good news is fans got to see the depth of the team on display as the backups got more reps and seemed to perform well in the passing game.

Philadelphia's quarterbacks completed 37 of 42 passes during the OTAs, with Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee getting most of the throws. Dorian Thompson-Robinson and Kyle McCord only threw three passes combined.

It's a long ways from the regular season beginning, but the Eagles seem to have the weapons to compete with any of the other 31 NFL teams.
