The second-year player out of Georgia will face stiff competition to start, but he has impressed against A.J. Brown in workouts.
‘He’s definitely growing’: Cornerback Kelee Ringo, 21, competes for a starting job at Eagles minicamp
“Having a year under my belt has definitely helped me be more calm with my play and also just seeing what offenses are doing against me and strategies and things like that,” Ringo said. “Kelee is difficult at times going against ‘cause I go against him a lot,” Brown said. “He’s definitely growing. You can see a different step with him. I’m not going to put too much pressure on him up here. But you can definitely see a different step with him and he’s hungry. He’s competing at a high level.”
“He’s a great All-Pro receiver,” Ringo said. “I feel like just going against a guy like that every single day can only help you get better, as well as last year on scout team, too. It definitely helped me elevate my game, which actually gave me the opportunity to be able to play.” Later on, Ringo lined up on the outside for a few reps against John Ross, the speedy, 28-year-old receiver whom the Eagles signed after he attended rookie minicamp on a tryout. Ross ran comeback routes on consecutive plays, and on the second occasion, Ringo stepped up and swatted away Pickett’s pass.
