The veteran has taken on an expanded role and has become more versatile as the Eagles look to have more defensive schemes for the slot position.
The Eagles veteran cornerback has spent seven years diagnosing opposing offenses primarily as an outside cornerback. The 30-year-old has developed a reputation as a physical, yet cerebral cornerback who understands route concepts and can often pick out how receivers are trying to manipulate him while in zone coverage.
Bradberry’s slot work was split between the first- and second-team defenses during training camp. When he worked with the twos, he’d occupy his typical outside cornerback spot with the starting defense while bumping inside with the backups the following series. “We’re just trying to find different matchups, different roles,” Desai said. “It’s about getting the best 11 on the field in different ways. ... Why not test him out in there and put him in some situations?”
Bradberry said these types of developments across the league make him ideally suited for some spot slot duty.
