The spring minicamp concluded on Thursday, marked by an intense 7-on-7 session where linebacker Brandon Smith stopped wide receiver Griffin Hebert just short of a first down. With this, players and coaches now enter their summer break, set to return for Training Camp in late July.
Head Coach Nick Sirianni emphasized the importance of physical readiness: "One of the main messages was come back in the best shape of your life. One of our core values is detail ... and to play with great detail, you have to be in great shape," he stated. Sirianni praised the efforts made by both players and staff to maintain fitness levels during the offseason.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts received recognition from Sirianni for his adaptability: "I think he's done a really nice job adapting to some of the different things that we're doing," said Sirianni. Hurts himself noted a refreshed perspective on the offense, acknowledging "a lot of new inventory" as he works on strengthening connections with his receivers.
New Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore's integration into the team has been positive according to Sirianni: "You're constantly trying to evolve as far as what you're studying... that's major growth," he mentioned regarding learning opportunities within their collaboration.
Defensively, new coordinator Vic Fangio's impact is evident. "I'm really pleased with what the defense is doing," said Sirianni. The defense showcased strong performance during drills under Fangio's guidance.
Sirianni also spoke about team chemistry: "All our players in this room have talent. But the best teams have something else. They have something else, and it's the culture," emphasizing daily habits such as accountability and attention to detail.
Observations from minicamp included a competitive battle for starting positions and notable performances from players like Kelee Ringo and Cooper DeJean. Both demonstrated strong defensive skills throughout various drills.
As Training Camp approaches, all eyes will be on further developments within both offensive and defensive units.
