Philadelphia Eagles fans may, or may not, have forgotten about Isaiah Rodgers last fall. 

The former Indianapolis Colts cornerback was suspended for the 2023 NFL season for sports gambling.

A few months after he was released by the Colts, the Eagles picked him up. 

Rodgers was officially deemed eligible to apply for reinstatement back in February. 

He recently took to social media to express his excitement for his future Eagles debut. 

"Damn I'm ready man," Rodgers wrote on X/Twitter in response to a highlight clip of him posted by The Swoop Scoops

Rodgers, 26, was originally a sixth-round pick out of UMass by the Indianapolis in the 2020 NFL draft. 

Before his suspension, Rodgers was a key contributor on special teams for the Colts and looked promising as an up-and-coming cornerback in the league. 

In three seasons in Indianapolis, Rodgers saw action in 45 games with 10 starts where he tallied 88 tackles, 10 passes defensed and three interceptions.

The Eagles' secondary ranked among the worst last season and if Rodgers makes an immediate impact with his return, there's a real chance that he could take on a larger role over James Bradberry. 

Either way, Rodgers will be a fun name to watch during offseason competitions.
