Meanwhile, Williams' projected replacement at defensive tackle, Moro Ojomo, has only heightened the buzz around him entering camp by consistently piercing into the backfield. Left tackle Jordan Mailata is his biggest hype man, likening his ability to cut to Micah Parsons and predicting Ojomo is "going to be special."

The Eagles' veteran continues to look like the leader in the competition with Kelee Ringo for a starting outside cornerback job.

That doesn't mean Jackson isn't getting the chance to prove Fangio wrong. Jackson was the starting cornerback in three of the first four practices of training camp, but two of those practices were with the Eagles just wearing helmets. Once the pads came on, Ringo started with the first team and Jackson mixed in with the ones later in the practice.
