Philadelphia has two of the NFL’s top 15 wide receivers in A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, but the most significant position battle this summer could come at the third wide receiver spot. Parris Campbell, John Ross, Ainias Smith, and Johnny Wilson are all competing for that coveted role, with the former Ohio State wide receiver quickly jumping out to a lead for the starting spot.
The biggest reason for Campbell’s rebirth is his growing rapport with Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, and the budding chemistry can be seen in this hookup during Saturday’s practice.

Campbell was inactive for the last five games of the 2023 season with the Giants, landing as a healthy scratch in what he’s described to NJ.com as a low point in his career.
A 2019 second-round pick out of Ohio State, Campbell caught 20 of 27 targets for just 104 yards while adding 191 yards as a kick returner.
Campbell’s most productive season came in 2022 with the Colts, as he logged 63 catches for 623 yards and three receiving touchdowns.
