Cole Payton saw some special teams action... He finished the summer with just 21 preseason snaps, 15 of which came in his encouraging NFL debut. Weird and disappointing that the Eagles didn't make a better effort to get him more experience.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalUsage

Payton limited to 21 preseason snaps despite encouraging debut; developmental opportunity wasted.

The Eagles experimented with Payton on punt coverage during preseason, but he finished the summer with just 21 preseason snaps—only 15 in his encouraging NFL debut. The source characterizes this as a wasted developmental opportunity, questioning why the Eagles didn't make a better effort to get him more experience after his encouraging debut, unless they're trying to prevent other teams from poaching him.
