The Philadelphia Eagles weren’t expecting a lot from their rookies last season and that was a good thing.  2nd round pick (QB) Kevin Kolb was the first choice the Eagles made last season.  He only played in 1 game (0 starts) last season for the Eagles and he carried the ball 3 times for -2 yards (-0.7 ypc).  Kolb will battle A.J. Feeley this season for the right to be the #2 QB.  DE Victor Abiamiri was the other 2nd round pick of the Eagles last season.  He played in 6 games (1 start) for the Eagles last season and he made 3 whole tackles.  OLB Stewart Bradley was a solid backup and special teams player as a rookie last year.  Bradley played in 16 games (1 start) for the Eagles last season and he made 18 tackles, had 1 sack, defensed 1 pass and had 1 interception.  Bradley could be in the starting lineup as early as this season with the Eagles.  RB Tony Hunt was drafted in the third round to give Brian Westbrook a little breather at times but he did not play well at all.  Hunt played in 8 games (0 starts) for the Eagles last season and he carried the ball 10 times for 16 yards (1.6 ypc) with 1 TD run.  Free safety C.J. Gaddis was cut before ever taking the field in a real game for the Eagles.  He finished up his rookie season on the practice squad of the Falcons.  TE Brent Celek was a find for the Eagles in the 5th round.  Celek played in 16 games (4 starts) for the Eagles last season and he caught 16 passes for 178 yards (11.1 avg) with 1 TD grab.  He could work his way into a starting role for the Eagles at some point if L.J. Smith keeps having injury problems.  CB Rashad Barksdale didn’t make the Eagles roster.  He was cut and hooked on with the Chiefs where he played in 6 games (0 starts) and finished with 8 tackles.  Fullback Nate Ilaoa was the 7th round pick of the Eagles and he didn’t play a down last season.
