Having the newcomers show up would be a big benefit, and would even be helpful to last year s class, since it didn t get that experience due to the pandemic

Amidst pleas from the NFLPA to have rookies skip minicamps, three teams held theirs this past weekend and attendance was not a problem.
Estimates are that 100 percent of the rookies showed up for rookie camps held by the Jets, Raiders, and Colts.
That could bode well for the Eagles, who will hold their three-day rookie camp beginning Friday.
1. How skinny is DeVonta Smith?
No, that s not actually the question we ll be asking, but you can bet it s going to be a hot topic of conversation the first time we see the 10th overall pick suit up in an Eagles practice jersey. And considering the rookies won t be in pads, he s going to look even skinnier than usual.
But the point here is, who cares? That s not what s going to be the most important thing on Sundays. It s going to be more about how he runs routes, catches passes and makes defenders miss after the catch. And we re finally going to get to see some of that down at the NovaCare Complex.

PHILADELPHIA - The NFL announced the dates for the offseason programs of its 32 member teams on Thursday, including the Eagles.
It s back to business for the league despite the NFLPA s fight to keep the 2020 COVID-19 restrictions in place and again turn the offseason into a virtual workplace.
On the surface at least the Eagles’ veterans have decided to back the union s position to stay away from voluntary work, although those with bonuses tied to participating have been quietly told not to worry about the public position and feel free to work at the NovaCare Complex and other facilities around the league, a union source told SI.com s Eagle Maven.
