Payton shows poise with aggressive throws; building case as developmental option.

Cole Payton, a 2026 draft class member and QB4, made some positive throws in limited action with the third-team offense. He made a ballsy attempt over the middle to a contested Quez Watkins, who made the grab in 7-on-7, and completed a downfield pass to Britain Covey on the final play of practice for a touchdown. The source notes Payton doesn't look scared to pull the trigger, as can be the case with some rookie quarterbacks, and is slowly but surely building the case for the Eagles to keep him as a developmental option.
