Merrill Reese is back in the booth tonight for his 48th season calling Eagles games.

Axios Philly chatted with the longtime radio announcer about the upcoming season for our latest edition of "The One's List" series. The conversation was lightly edited.

🔍 What's one under-the-radar thing to watch: Wide receiver Jahan Dotson is a player to keep your eye on and will likely have a much bigger role this year.

🤷‍♂️ One unanswered question: How linebacker Jihaad Campbell, the team's top draft pick, will fare, along with new safety, cornerback and offensive tackle players.

😬 One worry: How healthy the team can stay.

👀 One hot take: QB Jalen Hurts is underestimated even though he was the Super Bowl MVP, but we haven't even seen his ceiling yet.

🤞 One hope: To repeat as Super Bowl champions!
