Every member of the #Eagles’ starting secondary (Slay, Maddox, Mills, McLeod and NRC) has a long history with Jim Schwartz.

Mills and Maddox are the only two homegrown players who have stuck in major roles. Jenkins was here, Darby had history with Jim, McLeod was a vet FA.
Corey Graham and Leodis McLeod could also be tossed in there. You see Rasul Douglas, Sidney Jones, Chandon Sullivan got elsewhere and succeed. You see K’Von Wallace, Michael Jacquet barely crack lineup. Cre’Von LeBlanc and Marcus Epps have cracked it out of necessity. Parks cut.
This is even with a new DBs coach. Point is there’s seemingly favoritism throughout the roster, but the secondary is the easiest to see. Following this year, that’ll be impossible to maintain, with or without Jim based on the cap situation.
