Eagles Training Camp Player of the Day, Day 11: Mac McWilliams Mac McWilliams has been getting some 1st-team reps recently with Quinyon Mitchell sidelined. He is definitely making the most of them. McWilliams had a good practice this past Tuesday after Mitchell went down, but on Thursday he had his first standout play of training camp when he picked off Jalen Hurts in the end zone. It wasn’t a bad throw by Hurts — it was just an awesome play by McWilliams combined with Hollywood Brown looking like he lost at the top of the route. McWilliams has had in some ways the opposite last year Darius Cooper has had. This time last year both were on the rise and competing for playing team seemingly out of nowhere. Cooper’s rise continued into the regular season and he eventually ended up getting consistent playing time. McWilliam’s journey has been different. He didn’t get on the field last season and had a slow start to camp. When Tariq Woolen was added the chances of McWilliams starting (barring injury) became zero. But over the last two practices McWilliams has reminded everyone why he was such an exciting player in training camp last year. He is now on his way to earning a role as one of the top backups on the team.
