During Eagles training camp on July 30, rookie quarterback Cole Payton threw three interceptions. This performance comes on the second day of camp while players adjust to a new offense under first-year coordinator Sean Mannion. Payton's first interception was off a deflection, but subsequent interceptions raised concerns as he forced a pass into coverage.
