Eagles Rookies Made 2016 Count

The Eagles' 2016 rookie class will always be remembered for the selection of Carson Wentz with the second overall pick. The move to get Wentz was, of course, historic for the franchise that hadn’t drafted a quarterback in the first round since Donovan McNabb in 1999 (coincidentally a No. 2 overall selection as well). Wentz was forced into action earlier than most expected, as he was named the starting quarterback and played much more in his rookie season than many had expected.

But Wentz wasn’t the only Eagles rookie to see a significant amount of playing time.
