Rookie Mini-Camp Is Here!


A John Facienda highlight real produced by the Sabol family or a Howard Cosell Monday Night Football production where he's doing play by play and commentary at the same time is old school football at its finest.  I grew up on that and remember those days fondly when running backs and linebackers were the baddest men on the field.  Many others remember the good old days when the tough guys played and hated each other off the field.  Those days players literally came to training camp to get into shape to play football for sixty minutes. They were no planned offseason training programs, rookie mini camps, no organized training activities (OTAs), etc. There were just hard training camps and draconian training methods that put players in jeopardy.  Football was, believe it or not,  a distant second to Baseball as a past-time and although shown on TV it wasn't the production we see today. Enough of me reminiscing about the 70s and 80s, rookie Mini-Camp starts and Philadelphia Eagle fans are foaming at the mouth to see the rookie draft class! The rookie draft class that had Daniel Jerimiah and the NFL Network swooning on day1! The second phase after the draft also looks good with the Undrafted rookie signings too which adds more excitement to the roster building portion of the season. Here's a look at the rookie rookie draft class to include undrafted signings:


 
A quick look at the undrafted signings look like Stoutland University guys and the SEC corners stand out, only concern is the one linebacker signing but that leads me to believe Desai will go with a lot of Big Nickel looks but we will see! The only thing that many fanatics are waiting on now are the unveiling of the numbers for these guys! The only one that is confirmed is Sydney Brown who said he's wearing 43.
