Daily News | Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean is a full participant in rookie minicamp
Nakobe Dean talks to the media on Friday, May 6, 2022., during Eagles rookie minicamp at the NovaCare Complex.For Nakobe Dean, the sting of going in the third round of the NFL draft last Friday still lingers a week later.
Dean’s slide from a first-round hopeful to the 83rd overall pick was mainly due to concerns over his health; some teams had him as a medical red flag going into the draftAs a full participant in the first session of rookie minicamp Friday, Dean took the first step toward disproving the teams that expected him to miss all of his rookie season with a pectoral injury.
Dean, wearing No. 17, walked into the team’s indoor facility at the NovaCare Complex with fellow Georgia standout Jordan Davis, the first-round defensive tackle. Although Dean was the leader on the Georgia defense, he said he’d take some cues from Davis as the two get to know their new teammates. As a speedy, undersized linebacker, Dean benefited from the fact that Davis often commanded two or three interior linemen on running plays, often giving Dean clean paths to ballcarriers. Dean made the most of those opportunities, logging 72 tackles and six sacks in winning the Butkus Award as the nation’s top collegiate linebacker.
