Nakobe Dean has been making waves at Eagles camp this past week, showcasing a distinct edge in his performance. During Saturday’s practice, he made a strong tackle on rookie running back Will Shipley, showing his physicality and skill. The momentum continued into Sunday’s session, where he impressed with various stops and a sack on Jalen Hurts.
Teammate Devin White praised Dean’s intensity on the field, noting his speed and physicality. After a challenging 2023 season marked by injury, Dean has returned stronger and more determined than ever.
His improved performance has not gone unnoticed, with Dean making significant contributions during training camp and preseason games. Despite facing stiff competition for a starting position, his standout plays have put him back in the conversation for a starting role.
If Dean can maintain his high level of play in the upcoming preseason game against the Vikings and remaining camp practices, he has a strong chance of securing a starting job. White commended Dean’s relentless mindset and drive, highlighting his potential for success in the season ahead.
