BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) -Eagles rookie free safety Nate Allen has solidified his position as a starter with his play during training camp.
Defensive coordinator Sean McDermott calls Allen unshakable, and says the second-round pick from South Florida has earned the respect of his peers.
McDermott made his comments after Wednesday morning’s practice at Lehigh University.
The Eagles struggled last season to find a capable free safety after perennial Pro Bowler Brian Dawkins signed with Denver as a free agent. Allen was given the starting spot at the beginning of camp.
Philadelphia opens is preseason Friday night at home against Jacksonville.
