Instant analysis: Eagles plan on moving DE Genard Avery to linebacker

After a rollercoaster week of Eagles news, there appears to be a positive story brewing on the defensive side of things. Former Browns DE Genard Avery is being moved to linebacker, according to Rischad Whitfield, better known as ‘The Footwork King’.

Whitfield has worked with several Eagles players over the past few years. Darius Slay and Rasul Douglas (before he was cut) stand out from the secondary, while former WR Josh Huff also received his coaching back in 2015.

This is actually kind of a big deal.
