DeVonta Smith, Mac Jones and Landon Dickerson will be looking to impress in their first NFL seasons.
Smith and Dickerson were taken in the first and second round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Eagles, with Smith being the 10th overall pick and Dickerson as the 37th overall pick.
Both will be looking to give some help to the Eagles offense that could be led by second-year quarterback Jalen Hurts, should he wins the starting job.
Jones, who was taken at 15th overall by the Patriots, will be competing for the starting job with Cam Newton in camp as the Patriots will be looking to return to the postseason.
For third-year running back Damien Harris, he’ll be a huge cog in the backfield of the Patriots as he led the team in rushing yards last season, with 691 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns. Harris was selected with the 87th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
