Jonathan Greenard: My Job Is To Help Nolan Smith, Jalyx Hunt Continue To Grow

The Eagles traded for veteran edge rusher Jonathan Greenard in April and signed him to a new four-year contract because they think he can make an impact for them on the field.

Greenard doesn't view that as the only reason why he's in Philadelphia, however. He will be part of a position group that also includes third-year player Jalyx Hunt and 2023 first-round pick Nolan Smith, and both of the younger players impressed him enough during the team's offseason workouts that he sees part of his role as making sure that they keep developing.

"I'm really excited. Jalyx and Nolan, their game is only going to continue to grow," Greenard said, via the team's website. "And I think my job here is just continue to help them with that. Any two cents I got, I'm going to [give them] to make sure that they get to that point that I know they want to get to."

The best-case scenario for the Eagles would be for Greenard to remain an effective pass rusher while Hunt and Smith take the next steps to form a potent trio they can pair with defensive tackles Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis on the front line of the defense.
