The next chapter of the Jordan Mailata experiment is off to a strong start

It feels like an eternity ago that the Eagles took a flyer on Jordan Mailata. Picked in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Mailata stood at 6’8, 346 lbs, and brought a ridiculously athletic skillset to the table. But two years, 0 NFL snaps, and some back problems later, the experiment seemed to be all but over…until it wasn’t.

Things took a turn for the worst this Summer. Mailata needed this offseason and he needed it badly. His development from year-one to year-two was notable, but there were still notable holes in his game.
