Ranking five Eagles' rookies by potential impact in 2025
With the Eagles' training camp report date just 20 days away, we're ranking the Birds' rookies by potential impact in 2025. The Philadelphia Eagles added 10 draft picks to their roster in this year's NFL draft, landing the versatile Jihaad Campbell near the end of Round 1 and Andrew Mukuba in Round 2. Eagles GM Howie Roseman added two dynamic SEC linebackers, an All-American pass rusher, three offensive linemen, and an accomplished quarterback from Philadelphia. We won't know the actual impact of this year's class until these players hit the field and have time to develop, but on paper, it does appear that Roseman has maintained and created another Super Bowl window. The most significant indicator of draft success is immediate impact. With the Eagles' training camp report date just 20 days away, we're ranking the Birds' rookies by potential impact in 2025. 1. DB Andrew Mukuba The 64th pick in the NFL draft, Mukuba is versatile enough to hit the ground running at the safety position in place of the departed C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Mukuba should showcase his skills by displaying elite versatility at all three levels, while presenting a more hybrid and athletic model. According to Pro Football Focus, Mukuba earned an excellent grade in coverage (89.7). He forced an incompletion on 26.1% of his targets and allowed a 12.1 passer rating last season in coverage. 2. OLB Jihaad Campbell The 31st pick in the draft will begin practicing with the team in August when he's cleared to return from shoulder surgery, and he will start off playing the inside linebacker position. Campbell has been lauded for his pass-rush prowess, but his ability at linebacker and his penchant for bringing the ball carrier down are the most exciting aspects of his game. Pro Football Focus said Campbell amassed a 5.9% missed tackle rate, totaling 30 coverage stops. 3. DT Ty Robinson A physical specimen with a high motor, Robinson will complement Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, and Moro Ojomo on the interior. Robinson's 15 tackles for loss in 2024 were the most by a Nebraska player since Ndamukong Suh in 2009, and he ran the fastest 40-yard dash among defensive tackles (4.83 seconds) at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. 4. CB Mac McWilliams Mukuba and McWilliams give Philadelphia's defensive coordinator plenty of options with several Swiss army knives at his disposal. According to PFF, McWilliams allowed just 21 catches for 133 yards on 38 throws into his coverage radius last season. 5. LB Smael Mondon Jr. Mondon logged first-team reps during the off-season program, and Like Campbell, the former Georgia linebacker is an elite tackler with a 7.8% missed tackle rate at Georgia.

Turnstile Go All Ari Aster in the Pit in Double Video for ‘Seein' Stars' and ‘Birds'
When Charli XCX dubbed it a 'Turnstile Summer' at Coachella, it seems she meant it's going to be a lush, ominous, head-cracking kind of season. That is, if the hardcore band's new video for 'Seein' Stars' and 'Birds' is any indication. A perfect demonstration of Turnstile's dichotomy — blistering hardcore mixed with endlessly inventive melodies — the double video starts off dreamy, with a gaggle of dancers undulating to soaring vocals and Bill and Ted-esque electric guitars. Dev Hynes, a.k.a. Blood Orange, and Hayley Williams also lend vocals to 'Seein' Stars,' with the band's Brendan Yates and Pat McCrory directing the visuals.

Both songs come from Never Enough, the band's long-awaited fourth studio album, following Glow On, which earned them two Grammy nods. 'I always feel like there's not really any measure of greatness when it comes to music because music can reach people in so many different ways and different scales. The impact it can leave on someone is impossible to measure,' Yates told Rolling Stone at the time. 'Once you accept that, you can look at things through a different lens. Being recognized on one scale that's a universally accepted platform — that somehow a band like ours from Baltimore is being recognized by different people from different worlds — is super cool and exciting.' Never Enough — which was produced by Yates and features new guitarist Meg Mills — drops on June 6th.
