The Philadelphia Eagles are about five weeks away from July training camp.
Between now and then, some players take a much-need vacation. Others skip the vacay and continue to work, like Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Hurts was recently spotted (via Instagram) working out privately with rookie wide receiver Johnny Wilson and veteran Parris Campbell.
These three working out together before training camp coincides with the message head coach Nick Sirianni left them with after they wrapped up OTAs and minicamp.
"I won’t get into all the messaging we had, but the main message, one of the main messages was come back in the best shape of your life," Sirianni said. "One of our core values is detail, football IQ and fundamentals, and to play with great detail, you have to be in great shape."
The Eagles are on search for their starting No. 3 wide receiver and both Wilson and Campbell have a shot at earning the job.
At 6-foot-6 and 231 pounds, Wilson is currently the NFL's tallest wide receiver.
And no, he's not going to play tight end. Both Eagles' general manager Howie Roseman and Sirianni have made that abundantly clear after drafting him.
Wilson is obviously big like a tight end and would make a great blocking one. But what makes him stand out from the rest of the tight ends in this league is his elite speed and flexibility, which the Eagles would prefer not to waste by having him switch positions.
As for Campbell, he says he's playing the his "best football" yet following an injury-plagued start to his career.
Campbell and Wilson will also have to compete against rookie Ainias Smith and Britain Covey for the WR3 spot, though it looks like they're getting ahead of the camp battle.
