Daily News | Eagles rookie Sydney Brown getting up to speed in competition at safety
Heather Khalifa / Staff Photographer / Heather Khalifa / Staff PhotograEach night after practice, Sydney Brown stands in the middle of his hotel room, staring at his iPad and pretending he’s back on the field.
“I watch tape on my feet,” Brown said earlier this week. “I’m just trying to get that feel of what it’s like. Just little strides trying to get where I want to be and kind of pick up some of that game speed. ... The game’s a little bit faster. I’m trying to settle into that.”Brown, along with the rest of the Eagles’ defensive rookies, started training camp on the third-team unit with the challenge of working his way up.
Brown’s rise up the depth chart has not been linear, though. During Friday’s practice, the rookie spent most of the day back with the third team and working in with the second team for a handful of plays against the starting offense for one team period. He was with the third team during the developmental session at the end of practice when the team tackled live to the ground.
“[Last year] helped me tremendously,” Blankenship said. “Especially, like I said, feeling the tempo of the game. Coming from college and then going to the league, it’s two totally different tempos. You have to learn how to play it, learn your speed. Playing with James [Bradberry] and [Darius] Slay on the edges, it helps you a lot. I ask them as many questions as I can just to make myself confident.
