Yahoo Sports NFL on Cole Payton

Sixth-round rookie Payton has shown enough for roster consideration.

The sixth-round rookie Cole Payton has been encouraging enough this summer to argue he's shown enough to be on the initial roster. However, his exposure to the rest of the league has been limited in the last two preseason games as a byproduct of the quarterback competition lingering into late summer. He was utilized as a personal protector on the punt unit Friday night and didn't take snaps under center until after the five-minute mark of the fourth quarter. The source speculates the Eagles may have been trying to hide him to get him through waivers, though notes this is unlikely.
