The Eagles finished up their mandatory minicamp last week and won’t be together again until late July for training camp.

Over the last three weeks, reporters saw two OTA practices and three straight days in the mandatory minicamp. While these practices are basically just a passing camp, there’s plenty to observe.

While any observations from these practices should be taken with a grain of salt, here are 15 players who helped themselves a bit this spring:

WR Parris Campbell: We’ll see if the Eagles keep this receiver group as is or if they add another player. If this is the group, then Campbell has the best shot to become the WR3 in this offense behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Campbell was clearly the receiver getting the third-most first-team reps and he looked the part. Of course, the real concern with Campbell is his ability to stay healthy and he can’t answer those questions in shorts in June.

WR John Ross: For a guy who hasn’t played in an NFL game since 2021, Ross looked pretty good this spring. He still has some wheels and while I’m still skeptical he’ll be able to contribute or even make the team in 2024, he’s on my radar as someone I want to watch in training camp.

WR Johnny Wilson: The sixth-round rookie stands out for obvious reasons. At 6-6, 228 pounds, Wilson just moves differently from most receivers but that wasn’t a bad thing this spring. His one catch over Isaiah Rodgers down the left sideline in minicamp is exactly the type of play you want to see him make. He used his frame and plucked the ball right off the head of Rodgers.

RB Will Shipley: I honestly thought the first few practices from Shipley were a bit rough but he finished strong, showing his ability to catch the backfield and then showing his burst after the catch. The rookie be on the team in 2024 but it’s about how much of a role he can earn.

TE E.J. Jenkins:…
