Given that we only had 39 after the 2021 bowl game, Kelly did a great job pulling in portal talent and weaving it into a team for 2022. Finished #16, a fair ranking for that team. I think he exceeded everyone's expectations. The players seemed happy to put out for him. I guess he ran off those that did not buy in early (McGlothern, Tre Bradford). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eli Ricks is an undrafted free agent with the Eagles now. From the Eagles reporters: "He became a star at LSU immediately as a freshman, but things turned for both him and LSU in 2021. The Tigers struggled. Ricks’ season ended when he tore his labrum after only ten games. He entered the transfer portal and landed on his feet, joining the Alabama Menstrual Wave. A strong finish to a season that started slow put him back on some NFL radars, thus our current state of affairs. Eli Ricks is an Eagle. The questions are about how long he’ll stay. Here’s a brief synopsis of a very talented rookie. Notable strengths Prototypical size Excels in both press and off coverage Elite length that creates a large disruption radius Above average hip fluidity for a six-foot-two corner Minimal to no delay in transitions Jams well at the line Excellent ball skills Obvious weaknesses There’s a lack of vertical speed May not be able to close on elite receivers if separation occurs Sometimes struggles when covering hitch routes Over-relies on two-hand jams at times Doesn’t decelerate well sometimes Can become ‘grabby’ when frustrated by better receivers Doesn’t anticipate as well Here’s what a few draft experts have said about Eagles undrafted free agent Eli Ricks. Eli Ricks has the physical traits to be an NFL star. He has the prototypical size to be a professional cornerback. Now, he just needs to demonstrate that he can play like one. He’s six-foot-two. He tips the scales at 188 pounds, and he’s the owner of a pair of 32 and 3/8-inch arms and eight and 7/8-inch hands. The Eagles’ defensive backs room is crowded. At cornerback, James Bradberry, Darius Slay, and Avonte Maddox are locks to make the roster. Josh Jobe, Josiah Scott, and Zech McPhearson were all on the 53-man roster a year ago. Mario Goodrich returns for another tour of duty. Greedy Williams, Tristin McCollum, rookie draftee Kelee Ringo, and fellow UDFA Mekhi Garner are the new guys. We’ll see if there are any other additions, but as of right now, it feels like Ricks may have had a better shot to make the roster last season. He’ll have a tough hill to climb in 2023."
