The Philadelphia Eagles' roller coaster 2025 season has come to a close.
Despite their loss to the Washington Commanders, Philadelphia has plenty to be excited about regarding the younger crop of players. With the Eagles resting their starters, many reserve players got their first opportunity to play extended snaps this season.
Eagles' Week 18 Rookie Report Card
Jihaad Campbell, LB
Campbell played 92% of the snaps in the Eagles' finale, appearing in 62 defensive snaps. Campbell totaled 10 tackles and one pass breakup in his final output, finishing another solid performance for a promising rookie campaign.
Grade: B
Ty Robinson, DT
Robinson had his most extended action of 2025, participating in 51 snaps on defense, totaling three tackles and a QB hit. Robinson has been a highly touted rookie with major upside for the Eagles' future. His Week 18 performance showed plenty of promise for the Eagles' future, which has found plenty of value in late-round interior defensive linemen.
Grade: B
Brandon Johnson, DB
Johnson has been a nice surprise as an undrafted free agent in 2025, appearing in the Eagles' last three games. He received his first start in Week 18, registering two tackles and a pass breakup, appearing in 23 snaps. Johnson's emergence gives the Eagles a strong foundation for him in 2026. Despite a strong showing, Johnson is currently on injured reserve due to an ankle injury and is out for the rest of the season.
Grade: B
Mac McWilliams, CB
McWilliams has struggled to make an impact and see the field in 2025, with his performance against showcasing that. A bad pass interference call, in addition to looking overmatched, didn't help his case in being a part of the Eagles' future plans.
Grade: C-
Smael Mondon Jr., LB
A consistent special teams contributor, Mondon, failed to see the field as a Linebacker in week 18. Mondon did register a tackle in 14 special teams snaps and currently hopes to find a more permanent role on defense in 2026. Overall, Mondon has done a great job knowing his role in 2025, becoming a solid piece for the Eagles' future.
Grade: B-
Drew Kendall, OL
Kendall's tenacity was on full display, with even some fans calling for the healthy Kendall to overtake the injured players on the offensive line. Kendall's skillset and potential give Philadelphia some added depth if needed during their playoff push.
Grade: A-
Darius Cooper, WR
Cooper did his best to prove he's able to take the WR3 spot from Jahan Dotson in 2026. The 2025 undrafted free agent set career highs in receptions and receiving yards in his Week 18 matchup continued to showcase his ability as a pass catcher and run blocker. Cooper totaled 54 snaps on offense and 11 snaps on special teams for his largest output of the season.
Grade: B+
Cameron Williams, OL
The 2025 sixth-round pick made his debut with 51 snaps on offense and three snaps on special teams. Williams took over at right tackle for the Eagles, taking on the formidable Commanders' interior defensive line. Williams showed massive improvement from his showings in the preseason, developing into a solid depth piece in 2026 that could allow the Eagles to get younger in the two-deep.
Grade: B-

The rookie class's final performance showed tons of promise for the Eagles' future, after some concern about the back half of the season. While Andrew Mukuba and Jihaad Campbell have proven to be quality NFL players, players like Drew Kendall, Darius Cooper, and Cameron Williams have shown that they can push for larger roles in 2026. Overall, the Eagles rookies' Week 18 performance is graded a B+, with plenty of promise for the team's future.
