Eagles News: Zech McPhearson taking on a new role

Eagles OTA observations: Zech McPhearson moves to slot, Nakobe Dean wearing the green dot - The Athletic
3. Two nominal position changes to note. The most significant is the move of Zech McPhearson inside as a nickel corner, where he worked during seven-on-seven drills with the first- and second-team defense. McPhearson has mostly played on the outside during his first two seasons in the league, while remaining on the sideline because of the good health of the starting cornerbacks above him. Cornerback is perhaps the deepest position on the roster, so showcasing the ability to play inside will help the 2021 fourth-round pick earn his way back onto the roster.
