​The Eagles arrive at training camp with a loaded roster at several key offensive positions, leaving little room for players outside the obvious rotation to seize starting roles or become meaningful contributors on Sean Mannion’s revamped unit. Philadelphia boasts a group of under-the-radar offensive talents who could still push for roster spots, earn priority on the practice squad, or create more camp buzz than many might expect. With July 28 looming, here’s a fresh look at seven lesser-known Eagles offensive players to watch during training camp, led by Carson Steele, Darius Cooper, and Cameron Latu.
Carson Steele, RB
Steele brings a physical, bruising style to the backfield, standing 6-foot and weighing 228 pounds. He offers the Eagles a distinct short-yardage and special-teams profile to complement a room already featuring Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, and Dameon Pierce. His ability to grind out tough yardage and contribute in the kicking game could help him carve out a role on the roster or practice squad if he demonstrates consistency and reliability in training-camp scenarios.
Darius Cooper, WR
Cooper is a bigger target at 5-foot-11 and 210 pounds, hailing from Tarleton State. He’s buried within a crowded receiver group, but his size and production from a smaller program give him a compelling “camp name” to monitor. If he can showcase reliable hands, the ability to win contested catches, and progress in route running, Cooper could catch the coaching staff’s eye during camp and push for a spot on the practice squad or deeper consideration for a spot on the active roster.
Samori Toure, WR
A veteran with NFL experience, Toure could vie for a back-end roster spot or a spot on the practice squad. He’ll need to prove he can separate consistently, contribute on special teams, and offer more than the younger wideouts in terms of route nuance and reliability. If he can demonstrate versatility in alignment and a dependable pass-catching presence, he could become a valuable depth option as the season unfolds.
Cameron Latu, TE
Latu, a former Alabama tight end, stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 244 pounds. With the tight end room already crowded, Latu’s path hinges on how effectively he blocks and whether he can flash as a red-zone threat. If he can show improved inline blocking and the ability to create mismatches in the red zone, his stock could rebound and earn him more opportunities in the offense.
E.J. Jenkins, TE
Jenkins stands 6-foot-6 and 245 pounds, a sizable target who has previously spent time with the Eagles. His most viable route to impact is positioning himself as a matchup option at tight end, contributing as a red-zone threat, and delivering value on special teams. If he can display reliable catching ability in tight spaces and a willingness to contribute on coverage units, Jenkins could emerge as a sleeper candidate for a roster spot or practice squad role.
Willie Lampkin, G/C
An undersized but powerful interior lineman at 5-foot-11 and 290 pounds, Lampkin brings a different developmental profile to the Eagles’ interior. His versatility to play multiple interior spots could be valuable for depth and development, particularly as a potential practice squad candidate who can step in at center or guard if needed. Lampkin’s ability to move well for his size and show toughness at the point of attack will be critical to his camp narrative.
John Ojukwu, OT
Ojukwu is a developmental tackle with size, standing 6-foot-5 and weighing 309 pounds. The Eagles’ offensive line is crowded, but Ojukwu provides another tackle body to evaluate behind cornerstone players such as Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata, along with the primary reserves. His development, technical refinement, and matchup potential on the outside will determine whether he earns a longer look, a practice squad opportunity, or a potential upgrade to the depth chart as a reliable swing tackle.
