Nakobe Dean on being a student of the game; Eagles’ high standards

Philadelphia Eagles rookie linebacker Nakobe Dean on being a student of the game, having high expectations, and being held to the standard

Nakobe Dean was already a highly acclaimed student and middle linebacker before the Eagles drafted him in April’s selection process.

Dean was the top dawg on Georgia’s highly ranked defense, earning multiple accolades, awards, and All-American selections.

As he battles T.J. Edwards and Kyzir White for playing time at the middle and WILL linebacker positions, Dean is taking a “student’ approach to his time with the Eagles while also soaking up all the game from established veterans on both sides of the football.
