With their wild offseason and draft class, the Philadelphia Eagles enter OTAs as one of the most fascinating teams to watch in the NFL. It's impossible to keep tabs on all the interesting things happening with the team, so here are the five most important ones to keep an eye on.

Ertz has teased with glimpses into his potential these past two seasons, but so far he hasn’t completely earned the No. 1 spot on the depth chart. All he has to do is improve his blocking techniques and Kelly can finally unleash Ertz on the NFL as he intends. Watching how far Ertz has come with that will be interesting.

Many expected some young talent to be drafted on the offensive line, but clearly Kelly likes what’s there more than the fans do. Many faces saw a lot of both playing time and injuries last year, and watching how they’ve improved will make Eagle fans feel much better about their capabilities. The group as a whole will need to step their games up.

3. The Return of Tim Tebow

Whether he deserves it or not, Tebow is a walking media frenzy. Even though he’s competing for a spot way down the depth chart, just the fact that he is who he is will make for an interesting storyline to watch. He’ll be even more interesting if Kelly tips his hand and gives everyone an idea of how he wants to utilize him.

Three draft picks, two free agents and one big question: Who sticks in the secondary and who goes? With positional versatility the name of the game now, it’s anyone’s guess as to who makes the roster and where those spots will be. Guys like Eric Rowe and Jaylen Watkins are locks, but past that will be a huge camp battle worth keeping tabs on.

Is he healthy? Can he stay healthy? Can he elevate his game and take the Eagles to the next level? Bradford is undoubtedly the starting quarterback, and it’s fair to think that his success is the measure of how far the Eagles go in 2015. The talent is definitely around him, so the potential for greatness is there. Tebow he is not, but Bradford is ultimately the biggest storyline for the Eagles.
