LaRon Byrd

He'll be the first summer sensation to produce in the regular season after he steps in as an injury replacement.

I agree with Kerouac, on offense I think Roberts is going to turn it on. He was frequently open last year, and I think this year Kolb will find him.

On defense I think Schofield is going to step up. Over two years removed from the ACL tear and he's been in this defense for a year now so he shouldn't be screwing up assignments as much as he was last year. If you follow him on twitter he seems like he's taking this seriously.

Stewart Bradley among some of the others mentioned.

I think this is a superb answer and I hope you're right. Stew needs to step it up or it was just wasted cap and wasted roster space. I haven't heard a thing about him in camps or anything so that's probably not good. It's not like people are saying, "This is a glimmer of what we thought we paid for." Nothing even like that.

Great pick for an under-the-radar guy.

I watched a large amount of Eagles games and always thought Bradley was an absolute beast. I was shocked he played so sparingly last year. But it makes sense when you look at moving from a 4-3 to a 3-4. I believe he will think less and react more this year.

And you are right. There has been nothing on him. I also think guys like Roberts, Housler, and Fleming will have good year but those have been guys talked about since the offseason started. I wanted to go REALLY under the radar :)

Problem is, the rookie Acho was able to pick up the defense, and the vet Bradley wasn't. That isn't a good sign. It may have had less to do with him learning the defense and more to do with him not being a fit for it. But hey, if he can shine this season, it can only be a boon to this defense.

Byrd, Bethel and Potter are on my radar.

I'm intrigued by Arukwe's speed, but have heard nothing about him in TC so far.
