As training camp kicks off, the Philadelphia Eagles have emerged as a focal point for NFL discussions, securing the top spot in several pre-season power rankings. The key return of offensive stars positions them favorably, despite some significant defensive losses, including Darius Slay Jr. and C.J. Gardner-Johnson. The offense is led by Jalen Hurts, who faces pressure to replicate last season's success. Experts express mixed opinions on whether he can maintain or exceed his impressive performance from the previous year.

ESPN has pegged the Eagles as the second-best projected starting lineup, with their offensive tackles, Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson, highlighted as standout strengths. However, concerns linger about their edge rusher position. Meanwhile, AI predictions suggest the Eagles will clinch the NFC East, projecting a 13-4 record by season's end, though it doubts their ability to repeat as Super Bowl champions. As the season approaches, the Eagles' combination of offensive prowess and defensive adjustments will be pivotal.
