The longtime player and National Football League analyst says he's taking a 'wait and see' approach to the 2024 season.

Philadelphia Eagles legend Seth Joyner practices his putting skills Thursday at Hershey Country Club prior to the Mid Penn Bank Golf Classic. Joyner spoke to PennLive about the Eagles' upcoming season.Seth Joyner drained a handsome putt at the third hole of Thursday’s the Mid Penn Bank Celebrity Golf Classic at Hershey Country Club and was more than willing to share his thoughts on the Philadelphia Eagles defense heading into the 2024 season.

“I think secondary-wise, they made some massive improvements just from a talent standpoint,” Joyner said. “I think the cornerback and the slot corner positions are going to be a lot more solid,” Joyner said. “Anytime you can potentially bring in as many as nine defensive backs, the situation is heightened and competition level rises.

Joyner is confident that new Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio will also help bolster a unit that ranked 26th in the National Football League last season. “I think we’re in a situation where we have to wait and see,” Joyner added. “We’ve been in a position before where we’ve seen teams put together a very solid roster and then, things didn’t gel, things didn’t go right and they weren’t able to achieve what everyone assumed they could achieve.
