3. Nate Gerry LB
Gerry has flashed potential over the past couple of seasons, but after Jordan Hicks left in free agency, the former safety persevered to land a starting role.
With his playing helping the Eagles feel comfortable about moving on from Zach Brown, Gerry started 12 games, logging 61 percent of the defensive snaps. The 24-year-old Gerry offers the Eagles versatility and understanding of the defense that will keep him in the starting lineup.
