The Philadelphia Eagles are navigating through a virtual 2020 NFL offseason that’s been filled with political strife, a pandemic, and the emergence of Jalen Hurts as a second-round draft pick.
Fortunately for the Eagles, they have one of the best head coaches in the league and a guy whose humble beginnings should allow him to lead this team back to the playoffs.
With the 2020 Philadelphia Eagles training camp over a month away, here are Pederson’s 3 biggest challenges as camp approaches.

Life as we knew it changed the minute the world and America was forced to address the coronavirus pandemic. After finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel with the pandemic, the nation has once again been forced to deal with racial and social injustice after the country watched another police officer kill an American citizen.
Pederson will have to figure out how to keep his team focused, while sensitive to issues that society is currently presenting. He was previously able to leave the team building to Malcolm Jenkins, but now the Eagles head coach will need to be the ever-present leader more now than ever.
