Philadelphia Eagles: 2023 OTA REPORT & UPDATES | Quez Watkins & Sydney Brown Expectations

The countdown to the 2023 NFL season is underway as the Philadelphia Eagles begin their OTAs following a successful rookie mini-camp, and already the Eagles are making a buzz. First, Nakobe Dean told the panel on Good Morning Football that the Eagles will be hunting, and not the targets going into 2023. Jordan Davis, now going into his second season with the team, has shown “major progress” this offseason. What is that major progress? Markus will break that all down. Wide receiver Quez Watkins calls 2023 a “revenge season;” will Quez get revenge on a lackluster 2022 season and prove that he is worthy of a starting spot in the receiving corps? Sydney Brown, the third-round rookie safety, is hoping to crack the starting line-up in an already light safety rotation, is he good enough to become the #1 safety for the Eagles? Dallas Goedert had a step back in 2022 thanks to an injury that sidelined him for a few games last year. Will this be the year he steps up? Should we deep dive into OTAs? Or should we wait until training camp begins in the summer to get a better picture of the team? Meanwhile, outside of football-related activities, AJ Brown had a scare on Saturday as a car nearly hit him during the Eagles Autism Challenge Bike Ride. Thankfully, the only injury during that moment was that his phone was dropped during the ordeal. DeAndre Hopkins drew some buzz as he said to reporters that he would like to play with Jalen Hurts. Don’t we all? Haason Reddick may be responsible for a new rule in the NFL regarding three active quarterbacks every week. This came after Reddick took out 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy in the NFC Championship game. What impact will the new rule have on the NFL moving forward? Does Howie Roseman have beef with Mike Florio? That is after Florio pressed Roseman about the situation with the Eagles' ex-defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon. Howie took a couple of parting shots along the way during the interview.
