Notable Eagles players who are 25 and under heading into the 2025 NFL season

With the preparation for the second preseason game against the Cleveland Browns, we're looking at Philadelphia's notable talent under 25.

The Eagles have a loaded roster and one of the NFL's youngest, with the average age under 24 and getting younger, with the franchise in possession of 13 NFL draft picks in 2026.

With the preparation for the second preseason game against the Cleveland Browns, we're looking at Philadelphia's notable talent under 25.

LB Jihaad Campbell: 21

Campbell has been lauded for his pass rush prowess, but his ability at linebacker and his penchant for bringing the ball carrier down are most exciting. Pro Football Focus said Campbell amassed a 5.9% missed tackle rate, totaling 30 coverage stops.

DB Cooper DeJean: 22

DeJean logged 51 tackles (38 solo) as a rookie, including 0.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries across 16 regular-season games in 2024. DeJean's biggest and best moment came in Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs, when he picked off Patrick Mahomes for a 38-yard interception return for a touchdown on his birthday.

LB Smael Mondon: 22

Another Swiss army knife, the former Track and field star was a three-year starter at Georgia and played inside linebacker, outside linebacker, and slot CB. Like Campbell, Mondon Jr. is an elite tackler with a 7.8% missed tackle rate at Georgia.

DB Andrew Mukuba: 22

C.J. Gardner-Johnson made his name in New Orleans and Philadelphia by displaying elite versatility at all three levels, while Mukuba presents a more hybrid and athletic model. According to Pro Football Focus, Mukuba earned an excellent grade in coverage (89.7). He forced an incompletion on 26.1% of his targets and allowed a 12.1 passer rating last season in coverage.

RB Will Shipley: 22

The former Clemson star running back will battle A.J. Dillon for the backup role behind Saquon Barkley. As a rookie, Shipley rushed 30 times for 82 yards (2.7 YPC) across 16 regular-season appearances with the Eagles in 2024. He also secured all four targets for 35 yards and compiled 173 yards as a kick returner. Shipley, a 2024 fourth-round pick, logged a 77-yard run and a score, the first of his career, on just four carries versus Washington in the NFC Championship Game.

LB Jeremiah Trotter Jr.: 22

As a rookie in 2024, Trotter recorded 25 tackles (nine solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense while appearing in all 17 regular-season games. He added five stops (four solo) across four postseason games.

WR Darius Cooper: 23

A player to watch, the St. Louis, Missouri native joins the Eagles from Tarleton State, where he earned first-team Associated Press FCS All-America honors in his senior season. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound receiver is athletic and finished second in Division I in receiving yards with 1,450 (the second most in single-season school history) and sixth in touchdowns with 14 (the third most in single-season school history) in 2024. In 48 career games, Cooper accumulated 164 catches for 3,185 yards and 29 touchdowns, averaging 19.4 yards per catch.

OL Myles Hinton: 23

Hinton is the son of a former NFL star. His father, Chris, was a seven-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman after the Denver Broncos drafted him in the top five of the 1983 NFL Draft.

During his time at Stanford, Hinton would play 22 games with 16 starts in three seasons with the Cardinal before entering the transfer portal and landing with the Michigan Wolverines. He was a partial starter after opening the 2023 season in the lineup for the National Championship run in 2023 before returning for 2024 and logging 10 starts.

DB Mac McWilliams: 23

McWilliams is 5'10" and 181 pounds and compensates for his lack of elite size with quick footwork, aggressiveness, and clever play in coverage. McWilliams' versatility and athleticism give him the potential to contribute as a backup cornerback and special-teams standout.

DT Moro Ojomo: 23

Ojomo returns to his home country just weeks after the Eagles' 40-22 win over the Chiefs, which secured their second-ever championship title. Ojomo significantly contributed to the Eagles’ victory, logging a sack. Philadelphia didn't land Walter Nolen and waited until Round 4 to land Ty Brown out of Nebraska. Even with the pick, Ojomo still maintains his role as a pass-rushing defensive tackle, who can play on the edge in specific situations, and potentially replace Milton Williams's pass-rush prowess.

OLB Antwaun Powell-Ryland Jr.: 23

The Hokies' pass rusher was named a 2nd team All-American last season after logging 16 sacks and ranked second in the ACC with 19 tackles for a loss.

RB ShunDerrick Powell: 23

Powell rushed for over 4,000 yards in his collegiate career with 42 total touchdowns. He had eight 100-yard games in 2024. The two-time FCS All-American is a three-down running back and potential special-teams standout.

CB Eli Ricks: 23

The former Alabama cornerback is solid and looking to maintain a roster spot in year three.

CB Kelee Ringo: 23

The Eagles lost Darius Slay (Steelers), James Bradberry (free agent), Avonte Maddox (Lions), and Isaiah Rodgers (Vikings) in free agency and signed Adoree' Jackson. Even with those moves, Philadelphia didn't draft a cornerback until the fifth round when they selected Mac McWilliams out of UCF. Williams (5-10, 191) will add some depth on the outside and in the slot, but he was a fifth-round pick for a reason. Ringo is losing his competition with Adoree Jackson.

DT Jalen Carter: 24

After finishing with 4.5 sacks and a team-high 45 pressures, Carter was named second-team All-Pro in just his second season in the NFL. At 23 years old, he also became the youngest defensive tackle to make the Pro Bowl in franchise history.

DT Gabe Hall: 24

A rugged and versatile player at Baylor, a rookie free agent out of Baylor last season (6-6, 295 pounds), was on the practice squad for the entire season. He'll need a decisive training camp, but he can rush the passer and bring athleticism to the defensive tackle position.

OLB Jalyx Hunt: 24

Hunt, who offers elite athleticism, is likely to replace Graham. Viewed as a developmental prospect with a high ceiling, the Eagles selected him out of Houston Christian in the third round. During the first 10 games of his rookie season, Hunt played 42 snaps. Down the stretch with Bryce Huff on injured reserve, Hunt played under 30 snaps per game, logging 31 tackles, three sacks, and two forced fumbles during the final seven regular-season games and the playoffs run.

CB Quinyon Mitchell: 24

According to PFF, Mitchell was one of just three qualified cornerbacks, along with DeJean and Christian Benford, to post at least a 75.0 in both categories last season.

Mitchell ranked 3rd among NFL CBs with 16 forced incompletions, trailing only Zyon McCollum (17) and Denzel Ward (17). He was 3rd among CBs in yards allowed per coverage snap (0.8) behind Pat Surtain (0.6) and Derek Stingley (0.7) (min. 600 coverage snaps).

DT Ty Robinson: 24

In 2023, Robinson was an Honorable Mention All-Big 12 Conference after playing in all 12 games with 11 starts (29 tackles, 4 TFLs with one sack, 6 PBUs). In 2024, during his final season with the Huskers, Robinson was named Third-team All-Big Ten Conference after starting all 13 games (37 tackles, 12.5 TFLs with seven sacks, 4 PBUs, FF).

OLB Nolan Smith: 24

Out of 72 edge rushers who played at least 500 snaps last year, Smith’s 74.0 Pro Football Focus run defense grade ranked 13th. The dynamic pass rusher is a star in the making.

WR Johnny Wilson: 24

Wilson, whom the Eagles selected in the sixth round of last year's NFL Draft, made 16 regular-season appearances during his rookie season in Philadelphia. Wilson finished with five catches for 38 yards and a touchdown. He played on more than 50 percent of Philadelphia's offensive snaps just three times last season, and will look to carve out a role in 2025.

DB Sydney Brown: 25

The hard-hitting safety currently has the edge in the safety competition with rookie Andrew Mukuba.

DT Jordan Davis: 25

The former Georgia All-American had his fifth-year option exercised, and he'll look to dominate in year four.

WR Jahan Dotson: 25

Dotson caught 19 of 33 targets for 216 yards in 17 regular-season games with the Eagles in 2024 after being acquired in a trade from Washington. He also rushed once for 13 yards. Despite his struggles, Dotson played 649 offensive snaps during the regular season for Philadelphia, working as a No. 3 receiver behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. 

OL Cam Jurgens: 25

Jurgens is a Pro Bowl center and Jason Kelce's hand-picked successor.

QB Tanner McKee: 25

The third-year quarterback led the Eagles to a 34-27 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, going 20-of-25 for 252 yards and three total touchdowns.

OL Tyler Steen: 25

The third-year right guard is finally hitting his stride and will earn a starting role for 2025.
