On paper, Dean now slots into the starting inside linebacker position, along with a newcomer from the Chicago Bears Nicholas Murrow. Edwards and Kyzir White last season, but both are now gone. Dean, a clear-cut first-round talent, fell all the way to the Eagles’ lap in the third round of the 2022 draft. It is the moment Eagles fans have been waiting for. “I do think the leader in carries is gonna be Kenny Gainwell but I think the guy that’s gonna score the most touchdowns is Rashaad Penny.” This is going to be a running back by committee, and with the success Gainwell had in the playoffs along with his familiarity with the offense, he could be the one who ends up seeing a bulk of the work. The Eagles did bring in Rashaad Penny to replace Sanders, but Penny’s injury history suggests they are not bringing him in to be the bell cow back. Now with Sanders gone, Gainwell will look to have an even more significant role in 2023. He outplayed Miles Sanders in the playoffs and continually got a lot of work in the rushing and receiving game. Gainwell burst onto the scene during the Birds’ 2022 postseason run.
