Say what you will about NBA summer leagues, MLB spring training, and anything else that gets the blood flowing. Seldom does anything compare to the expectancy experienced during a Philadelphia Eagles summertime camp. Veterans who have been sitting out the voluntary portions return to work. New faces in new places bring new optimism.
Philadelphia enters mandatory minicamp with a dozen wide receivers on the 90-man offseason roster. We're counting Avery Williams in that number. He has also been called a returner and a running back, but you get the idea.
Williams will enjoy both cooperation and competition with the likes of A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Jahan Dotson, but don't rule out a former San Francisco 49ers prospect. He's been turning heads, and there are theories that his stellar play might continue through the summer.
