ESPN analyst predicts Byron Young and Ty Robinson breakout for Eagles

ESPN analyst Jeremy Fowler expects defensive linemen Byron Young and Ty Robinson to play larger roles for the Philadelphia Eagles during the 2026 season. While Philadelphia features established starters Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis, the potential departure of Moro Ojomo in free agency creates a need for depth at the position. Young, a former Las Vegas Raiders draft selection, appeared in all 17 games for Philadelphia last season and recorded 2.5 career sacks. Robinson entered training camp facing uncertainty regarding his spot on the 53-man roster but secured his place with a productive preseason performance. Robinson recorded 3.0 sacks across three preseason games, including a two-sack effort in the second week. If both players sustain this performance, the Eagles intend to field a rotation of five defensive linemen.
