Taking Stock of Eagles Training Camp: Day 2
The second day of training camp is now in the books. So, who left the biggest mark? Certainly, a lot of press was dedicated to the arrival of second-round pick Nate Allen, who took the field today after a one-day holdout (read all about his perceptions on his first day here). But what about the other rookies and selected veterans who were toiling in the brutal Lehigh sun? Here's a brief look at who's stock is on the rise and who's is falling after practice number two:
Stock on the Rise:
Chad Hall: Still in contention for BGN's Na Brown award, the speedy little Hall continued to impress today, hauling in sideline catches as well as deep balls. He showed a knack for keeping both feet in bounds when forced to the sideline. This also marks the second day in a row where he has caught a touchdown pass from Kevin Kolb. If the former Air Force standout is going to develop a rapport with anyone on the team, his best bet would be to buddy up with the franchise QB.
Riley Cooper: Speaking of talented young receivers, Cooper had a pretty impressive day himself, displaying a very physical presence and refusing to be jammed at the line of scrimmage. He has reportedly looked great during fade routes and should prove to be a threat in the redzone if his progress continues.
Trevard Lindley: By many accounts, Lindley has been having a great camp so far. He's been great with locking down receivers (although he'll have to watch his play if he doesn't want to draw any pass interference calls).
Daniel Te'o-Nesheim: Showing his signature ferocity throughout the day, Te'o earned some praise from Andy Reid during his morning press conference. He has performed well during one-on-one o-line/d-line drills, especially.
Dallas Reynolds: Another player singled out during Reid's press conference, Reynolds has apparently improved a lot since his on-and-off roller coaster ride with the Eagles last season. Reid stated that the former undrafted rookie "had a good offseason" and mentioned him among the offensive linemen who he thought had stood out that day.
Stock Falling:
Brandon Graham: No news on the progress of Graham's contract, but word is that it's still nowhere close to getting signed.
Kevin Jurovich: After suffering what Andy Reid dubbed a quad contusion during yesterday's second practice, the young wide receiver spent the entire day on the sidelines. Needless to say, for an undrafted rookie fighting for a roster spot at a position that's already deemed very deep, every day missed is a huge blow.
Dobson Collins: Last year's practice squad receiver had a little trouble staying in his routes today. He was out of position a few times and earned himself a talking-to from Marty Mornhinweg.

T'eo looks really good out there in the 1 on 1's.
Can’t wait to see if he does the same thing versus the starters on Saturday. Sapp looks like lightning in a bottle too, the only thing he needs to work on is bulking up some and not losing that great first step. I hope Cooper can steal Basketts #4 spot also, I’m not sold on Hall just yet but he does look promising. The pads and hitting can’t get here quickly enough!!
Brennan Huff: I have a belly full of white dog crap in me, and now you lay this shit on me?
Man, Sapp is what 6'4"-6'5" and only 255?!
that guy could easily put on another 10-15 pounds and keep his athleticism. Get that guy up to DeMarcus Ware/Ray Edwards size…good times

1st round picks
Only 1 has signed, so until the top pick signs no one else will. Graham stock can not drop if it is all on Bradford to sign
D.C. YATES
he explained that yesterday. As long as he isn’t in camp he can’t make an impression/impact and he loses ground to Parker and Tapp. Therefore he will be on the stock dropping list.

As a BYU fan
I hope Reynolds makes the team and can provide some depth to the O-line.
I wish Graham would hurry up and sign!
For the Love of the Game
Stockton to Malone- The perfect combination!!
