We’re looking at how Philadelphia’s undrafted rookies have performed ahead of the #Eagles preseason opener against the #Ravens
The Philadelphia Eagles added 28 new players to the 90-man roster since the end of the 2022 season.
Which of the newcomers has the most significant impact on the training camp?
The Eagles made seven draft picks, signed nine undrafted free agents, and have returned to the NovaCare Complex with a deep and loaded roster.
With the preseason opener set for Saturday night, here are the Eagles’ biggest standouts among undrafted free agents.
Arkansas receivers coach Kenny Guiton is proving to be an outstanding recruiter, bringing in talented new faces to fill some voids.
With the departure of Arkansas’ four top receiving targets from a year ago, the Razorbacks went into the offseason with a definite need to fill the void.
To the rescue was receivers coach and emerging recruiting guru Kenny Guiton, who proceeded to land three coveted replacements.
Gone are wideouts Matt Landers (47 catches, 901 yards and 8 TDs), Jadon Haselwood (59, 702, 3), and Ketron Jackson Jr. (16, 277, 3) and tight end Trey Knox (26, 296, 5). Landers and Haselwood opted to turn pro, while Jackson and Knox chose to transfer. The primary back-up Warren Thompson (12, 178, 2) also decided to leave the program.
Guiton proceeded to out-recruit a number of Power 5 programs to bring in a trio of highly touted transfers: Andrew Armstrong (62, 1,020, 13) from Texas A&M-Commerce, Isaac TeSlaa (68, 1,325, 13) from Hillside College and Tyrone Broden (32, 506, 7) from Bowling Green. The three should be an immediate welcome addition for senior quarterback KJ Jefferson and new offensive coordinator Dan Enos’s pro-style offense.
Guiton, a former quarterback at Ohio State, worked his magic last season, bringing in a pair of transfers that quickly blossomed – Landers and Haselwood.
Along with another Guiton recruit, freshman Isaiah Sategna, the reworked receiving corps looks to pose a definite threat to opposing secondaries. The speedy Sategna had two impressive TD catches in last spring’s Red-White Game.
Despite having a group that lacks playing experience in the SEC, Guiton is confident that he has the right mix of talent to support a stellar Razorback passing game this season.
“The further and further you go, the more ease you start to get,” he said after the fifth practice of the fall. “I don’t know if I will ever be fully eased until we win some games. But right now, I’m feeling good. I love the competitive nature in our room. You can tell everything is up for grabs.”
With 20 practices remaining before the season opener against Western Carolina in Little Rock, Guiton will just let everything sort itself out.
“We have plenty of guys competing their butts off, in order to be one of those three starters, but they also know when your time comes to shine, you better be ready for it.”

With so much star power, the camp intrigue will center around five battles that could shake up the 53-man roster.

The Eagles have made several roster moves that added depth to critical positions, but wide receiver was one under-the-radar spot that needed to be upgraded.
Philadelphia has one of the top pass-catching duos in the NFL with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, but the depth behind the two superstars left much to be desired.
The Eagles then addressed the position in free agency, adding Olamide Zaccheaus to compete with Quez Watkins.
Howie Roseman added two intriguing undrafted free agents, Joseph Ngata (Clemson) and Jadon Haselwood (Arkansas), adding size to the roster.
With OTAs and the offseason program complete, we’re looking at the roster locks in a crowded wide receiver corp.

With Phase Two of the offseason workout program starting on Monday, here’s a look at the undrafted free agents with the best chance to make a 53-man roster.
The former Arkansas wide receiver led the Razorbacks in receptions in his lone season in Fayetteville.
Jadon Haselwood was as sound as any wide receiver on the Arkansas roster last year.
Haselwood spent just one season at Arkansas after transferring from Oklahoma. In that season, Haselwood led the team with 59 catches, which went for 702 yards and three touchdowns.
As a former five-star recruit, Haselwood has the upside to stick with Philadelphia or elsewhere in the NFL. He played three seasons in college and led the Sooners in touchdowns his sophomore season with six.
He joins fellow former Hogs starting wideout Matt Landers on a camp roster. Landers signed with Seattle.
