10 Things I Think About the Philadelphia Eagles - MMQB
9. Jordan Hicks will quickly become a really solid NFL linebacker—and maybe more. His football IQ is very high. In his first NFL start last year, the third-rounder played every snap—base, nickel and dime. He also handled a lot of the signal-calling. Hicks has a natural sense for angles and play designs. He’s not a raging athlete, but he moves well enough. (In fact, when in two-high safety coverages, the previous coaching staff was comfortable having him defend tight ends man-to-man.)
Kelce On the Offensive Line’s Surprising Success - Birds 24/7
As much as the additions of Brooks, Isaac Seumalo and Stefen Wisniewski raised expectations for the Eagles’ offensive line this season, news of Lane Johnson’s impending suspension brought them down just as much.

Jason Kelce gets some camera time on brother Travis' reality show
Rarely does the spotlight shine on offensive linemen, but Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce will get a little camera time on his brother Travis' new reality show, "Catching Kelce" on E!
Travis, a top-flight tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has drawn the tough assignment of dating one girl from each of the 50 states in his quest for "love." Jason is there to offer some brotherly advice along the way, he recently told the Daily News.
