Marcus Epps
NFL player. Position: Safety (S). Team: Philadelphia Eagles.
Quick Facts
- Position: Safety
- Team: Philadelphia Eagles
2026 Outlook
Epps brings familiarity and experience to the Eagles' secondary but faces multiple moving pieces on the back end. Rookie Drew Mukuba should have a real chance to earn a major role, while Michael Carter II has been cross-training and gives the Eagles nickel-safety flexibility. J.T. Gray brings special teams value, and Andre' Sam, Cole Wisniewski, and Maximus Pulley are competing for depth. Epps' experience matters in a defense demanding communication and discipline at the safety position, but Philadelphia must determine whether it wants a steady veteran, a younger upside player, or a more versatile defensive back. Assignment-sound play and physicality throughout camp will be critical. (per 7 Eagles veterans facing increased competition this summer - Eagles Wire)
