Philadelphia Eagles: 5 key questions to consider heading into 2019 training camp

4. Which rookie will stand out the most?
From Sanders and Arcega-Whiteside going in the second round to boosting the offensive line early on with Andre Dillard, the Eagles deserve plenty of credit for putting together another successful draft this past April.
Like most rookies, Philadelphia may need to be a little extra patient over the next few weeks since adjusting to the NFL level isn’t always the smoothest process in the world, but obviously the hope is some guys make a splash right away.
Take a look at Sanders for instance, as the former PSU star would love nothing more than to follow the footsteps of his former teammate in Saquon Barkley by making a serious impact right away as a rookie.
Yes, the Eagles were well aware that Sanders isn’t anywhere near the same level as Barkley as a running back, and most likely won’t even be a starter, but Philadelphia still knows he can bring plenty to the table as a rookie.
Sanders filling in when needed at running back to help take some of the pressure off Howard has the potential to work wonders for the Eagles on offense, and it will be interesting to see if he or someone else turns out to be the rookie who stands out the most in camp.
