Daily News | Eagles’ Nakobe Dean anticipates larger role heading into second season
After he played sparingly behind a pair of veterans during his rookie season, second-year linebacker Nakobe Dean will have a prime opportunity to earn a starting role this summer with the Eagles.I’ve been working to be able to do everything I need for this team, to have us be the greatest defense that we can be,” Dean said Tuesday evening from the Northeast Frankford Boys & Girls Club, where he surprised local students with meals in an effort to address food insecurity in Philadelphia.
After he slipped to the Eagles on Day 2 of last year’s draft, Dean spent a majority of his rookie season behind starters T.J. Edwards and Kyzir White on the depth chart. Dean appeared in just 34 defensive snaps , although he played in all 17 games and logged 340 special teams snaps . He finished second behind cornerback Zech McPhearson with seven special teams tackles.
“It feels great having my guys back in Philly with me,” Dean said. “Everybody, we’re all putting the work in. Being able to reunite with brothers that I love. Nolan was actually my roommate when I first got to college. I feel like with me and JD [Jordan Davis] already being here, we’ll be able to help all of them get off on the right foot.”
