Eagles Mark Start Of Training Camp With 'Back To School' Photoshoot

PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Birds are still weeks out from launching on their defense of their 2022 NFC championship, and their second Super Bowl appearance in five years.

But they took a big step forward this week as they returned to training camp. In style.

Dozens of players posed for "back to school" style photographs to celebrate the start of preparations for the 2023-24 season. Photos included players dressed in full uniforms in numerous poses, bearing uncharacteristically immoderate smiles compared to the grim mugs typically displayed during public appearances on the gridiron.

One of the photoshoots featured players holding up miniature "first day of training camp" chalkboards, stating their name, age, what they love, and what they want to be when they grow up.

AJ Brown, for instance, is 26, loves sour Skittles, and aspires to be an astronaut. Now you know.

Other shoots included videos interviewing players about "what they did over the summer." Check out the full spread of images online here.

The Birds preseason opener is Aug. 12 down in Baltimore against the Ravens.
