The Philadelphia Eagles are the defending NFC East champions and in order to defend their title, they’ll need a few under the radar guys to take a major step forward this season.
The Eagles don’t have many holes on either side of the ball but they do have five players who look to take the next step in their maturity as players.

1. Will Parks
The former Broncos safety Will Parks turned out more lucrative offers to join his hometown Birds on a one-year deal.
Parks brings a physical style of play coupled with versatility.
Parks can play in the slot, he can play in the box and he’s got a pretty good range as a safety.
Parks has racked up 148 tackles, four interceptions, two forced fumbles, and 13 pass breakups during his NFL career in limited snaps. Look for Parks to increase those numbers while bringing some attitude to the Eagles defense.
