This offseason, the Philadelphia Eagles decided to stick with the youthful approach at linebacker by saying goodbye to Nigel Bradham and adding a couple of younger guys in the most recent NFL Draft and free agency period. The front office usually isn’t willing to spend big at the position. They’ve trusted Ken Flajole to develop talent, and he has done just that.
Kamu Grugier-Hill was a sixth-round pick and solid special teams contributor, but in recent years, he’s become a reliable starting linebacker. Nathan Gerry was a fifth-round pick who was asked to make a transition from safety.
