There are surprises every year when teams trim their rosters down from 90 players to 53 at the end of training camp, and the Philadelphia Eagles will be no exception in 2015. The team has done a tremendous job of assembling talent at just about every position, and the battles for the last few jobs will be tight and could last until the end of the summer.

In some cases, the obvious choice won't win. The dark-horse candidate will sneak up from the rear and steal a roster spot from a more established or pedigreed player.

There may not be five of those choices come cut-down day this September, but there will be one or two at least. There always are. And while we're still weeks away from the start of training camp, and two months out from the Eagles' roster trimming down to 53, we're taking a stab at predicting who those unlikely winners will be once the dust settles.
