It is a list that could be longer and could, in fact, include every player on the roster. The coaching staff wants every player to take "the next step" and play at "the next level," but for the purposes of space, here is the list from this perspective as the Eagles enter the final two weeks of the offseason program.
MARCUS SMITH, defensive end
The 2014 first-round draft pick describes his two-plus seasons as a "roller coaster" and a series of "lessons learned." Marcus Smith did not earn much playing time as a standup linebacker in the 3-4 scheme under then-coordinator Bill Davis, but he's been moved to defensive end in the Wide 9 alignment and says that works well into his skill-set.
