Former Philadelphia Eagles player Trent Cole hosted his high school offensive and defensive linemen camp at Rowan University on Monday evening from 5 to 9 p.m.

The camp included drills, a chance to work with Cole and other skilled guys from the NFL, a free t-shirt, and giveaways. Super Bowl Champion and former Rowan Offensive Line Coach Gino Gradkowski was also in attendance to facilitate the camp.

“This camp is geared towards the BIG GUYS on both sides of the ball. This camp will support local South Jersey football programs,” Cole’s website read.

The camp kicked off around 5:30 p.m. The offensive and defensive linemen split into two groups for about three hours to go through different drills and skills to improve the athletes’ game.

Cole played in the NFL for 12 seasons, primarily with the Philadelphia Eagles. Before getting into the league, Cole played college football for the Cincinnati Bearcats.

He was selected by the Eagles in the fifth round of the 2005 NFL Draft. He played for the team from 2005 until 2014 and was a two-time Pro Bowler. He retired in 2017 after two seasons with the Indianapolis Colts.

This camp provided high school football players in our area with the opportunity to work with Cole and trainers to level up their game while having fun doing so. Towards the end of camp, all 50 attendees received a signed autographed photo of Cole and a photo with him. Six lucky high schoolers also walked away with a signed football or hat.

The camp, a blend of rigorous training and real-world wisdom, is set to continue as an annual event, promising to cultivate talent and sportsmanship in South Jersey’s football community for years to come.

Eagles to induct Hugh Douglas, Trent Cole into team’s Hall of Fame

Philadelphia Eagles announce Hugh Douglas and Trent Cole will be inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame

The Philadelphia Eagles use the preseason home opener to announce the newest members of the team’s ring of honor, and Friday saw the addition of two famed pass rushers.

Owner Jeffrey Lurie announced that the team would induct Trent Cole and Hugh Douglas into their Hall of Fame on November 27 when the team hosts the Packers.

The announcement was made as part of Philadelphia’s Legend’s Homecoming.

“Trent and Hugh were both high impact pass rushers and consummate teammates,” said Jeffrey Lurie, Philadelphia Eagles Chairman and CEO. “When we traded for Hugh, we knew we were getting a player who would immediately make our football team better. He was a tremendous leader on a defense that helped guide us to many deep postseason runs. Upon Hugh’s retirement, we were fortunate to acquire another talented edge rusher through the draft. Trent was a dynamic and durable player who provided us with an advantage on defense thanks to his endless motor, selfless style of play, and passion for the game. It will be an honor to officially enshrine them both in the Eagles Hall of Fame this season.”

Cole (2005-2014) was drafted by the Eagles in the fifth round (146th overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft and ranks second in team history with 85.5 career sacks.

A two-time Pro Bowler, Cole logged double-digit sacks in four separate seasons, ranking second in team history behind Reggie White (eight double-digit sack seasons). His 155 games played in an Eagles uniform is third all-time among defensive linemen and 14th among all players in franchise history.

Douglas (1998-2002, 2004) is a first-round draft pick (16th overall) of the New York Jets in 1995.

Philadelphia acquired Douglas in a trade during the 1998 offseason, earning three consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl (2000-02) and a first-team All-Pro nod (2000).

Brandon Graham now 5th on Eagles’ all-time sacks list

Brandon Graham now 5th on Eagles’ all-time sacks list

Brandon Graham had gone four games without a sack, but in the first quarter against the Giants, the Eagles ten-year veteran record sack number 8.5 on the season.

Graham now sits 1.5 sacks away from his season goal of 10 and he made history on the play, moving into sole possession of 5th place on the Eagles all-time sacks list with 51.

124.0 – Reggie White
85.5 – Trent Cole
76.0 – Clyde Simmons
54.5 – Hugh Douglas
51.0 – Brandon Graham

Graham should move into third at some point during the 2019 season and would need to average about six per season over the next two or three years to have a chance at catching Clyde Simmons for third.
