The All-Time Philadelphia Eagles Starting 22

Philadelphia Eagles Greatest Players

Offense

QB – Jalen Hurts
Still writing his story, Hurts has already led the Eagles to multiple Super Bowls, winning one of them. He has rewritten rushing records for QBs, and become a face of not only the franchise, but the city as well. What sets him apart is his maturity, leadership, and ability to make plays in the clutch. He’s the total package—and only getting better.

Also considered: Donovan McNabb (most wins in team history but could never get over the hump. 4 NFC championship losses.), Randall Cunningham (ahead of his time), Ron Jaworski (steady and tough).


RB – Brian Westbrook
The ultimate dual-threat. Westbrook’s ability to run, catch, and return made him a nightmare for defenses. He was the heart of the offense for nearly a decade and consistently came through in clutch moments.

Also considered: Wilbert Montgomery, LeSean McCoy, Steve Van Buren, Saquon Barkely (all time season, but too brief of a stint to make it on here yet).


WR1 – Harold Carmichael
A 6'8" freak of nature who was unstoppable in jump-ball situations. Carmichael led the team in receptions for nine straight years and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2020.

Also considered: Mike Quick, Terrell Owens (another all time season, and who could forget that super bowl performance on a broken leg.)

WR2 – DeSean Jackson
One of the most explosive players in NFL history. Jackson is the all-time leader in 60+ yard touchdowns and gave Eagles fans unforgettable moments—like the Miracle at the New Meadowlands.

Also considered: AJ Brown, Jeremy Maclin.


TE – Zach Ertz
Super Bowl hero and franchise leader in receptions for a single season. Ertz was consistent, reliable, and often Carson Wentz’s safety net during a dominant stretch in the late 2010s. His game-winning TD in Super Bowl LII is the stuff of legend.

Also considered: Pete Retzlaff, Brent Celek (the definition of a fan favorite, tenured stud.)


LT – Jason Peters
An absolute hoss of a man and a nine-time Pro Bowler. Peters protected the blind side for over a decade and played at a Hall of Fame level into his late 30s. Special stuff considering he went undrafted coming out of college.

Also considered: Tra Thomas, Stan Walters.

LG – Evan Mathis
Short stint, but peak dominance. From 2011–2014, Mathis was rated the best guard in football by Pro Football Focus.

Also considered: Todd Herremans, Wade Key.

C – Jason Kelce
A future Hall of Famer and the beating heart of the franchise. Kelce redefined the center position with his athleticism and intelligence. His Super Bowl parade speech? Legendary.

Also considered: Guy Morriss.

RG – Shawn Andrews
At his peak, he was arguably the best guard in football. Injuries shortened his career, but Andrews was a two-time Pro Bowler with elite physical traits.

Also considered: Brandon Brooks (dominant for a short period of time, injuries derailed prime.)

RT – Lane Johnson
The best right tackle in the NFL during the 2010s and a cornerstone of the Super Bowl team. Rare athleticism and has not allowed a sack in years when healthy.

Also considered: Jon Runyan (quite possibly one of the nastiest lineman to ever play in the NFC East, the only guys who liked Runyan were his teammates.)

Defense

DE – Reggie White
No-brainer. “The Minister of Defense” was a generational talent with 124 sacks in just 121 games as an Eagle. His combination of power and speed changed the position forever.

Also considered: Trent Cole (2nd in team sacks), Hugh Douglas.

DT – Fletcher Cox
Six-time Pro Bowler and the anchor of the Super Bowl LII defense. Cox could wreck games from the interior like few others in team history.

Also considered: Charlie Johnson, Jerome Brown (Because of his versatility, Brown has an argument to claim two spots on the Eagles all time defensive line.)

DT – Jerome Brown
A star whose life was tragically cut short, but his impact was massive. Powerful, emotional, and dominant. Ask anyone who played with him—he belongs.

Also considered: Hollis Thomas, Corey Simon.

DE – Brandon Graham
More than just the strip sack in Super Bowl LII (though that certainly helps). Graham developed into a leader and a fan favorite, constantly pressuring QBs and setting the edge.

Also considered: Clyde Simmons, Greg Brown.


OLB – Seth Joyner
Ferocious and versatile. Joyner was the prototype linebacker: fast, strong, and mean. Finished with over 50 sacks and 20 INTs—elite production.

Also considered: Mychal Kendricks, Connor Barwin (14.5 sacks and an All Pro nod in 2014.)

MLB – Jeremiah Trotter
"The Axe Man." Trotter brought violence to the middle of the field. Four Pro Bowls, endless intensity, and the leader of some dominant early-2000s defenses.

Also considered: Chuck Bednarik (one of the last humans to successfully play both ways in the NFL), Byron Evans.

OLB – Bill Bergey
Old-school toughness meets modern instincts. Bergey held the team record for most tackles in a season and was a five-time Pro Bowler.

Also considered: Nigel Bradham (glue guy on SB team), Ken Clarke.


CB1 – Eric Allen
Elite ballhawk with 34 interceptions in midnight green. Allen had six pick-sixes and was one of the NFL’s best corners during his prime.

Also considered: Troy Vincent, Asante Samuel (one of the best ballhawks of all time, Samuel’s career interception totals are ridiculous.)

CB2 – Sheldon Brown
Underrated, but rock solid. Brown made big hits (just ask Reggie Bush) and rarely got beat. A tone-setter in the secondary.

Also considered: Lito Sheppard, Bobby Taylor.


FS – Brian Dawkins
The soul of the Eagles. “Weapon X” was beloved for his heart, leadership, and terrifying highlight reel. Hall of Famer. Franchise icon. No debate. The only thing missing from this legendary resume is a ring.

Also considered: Wes Hopkins.

SS – Malcolm Jenkins
The leader of the Super Bowl LII defense. Durable, versatile, and clutch. Jenkins made plays everywhere—from deep coverage to the line of scrimmage.

Also considered: Andre Waters, Quintin Mikell.


As far lineups go, this team could play—and beat—most all-time rosters out there. Philly’s history is stacked with grit, greatness, and larger than life personalities. Whether it’s Dawkins laying out Crumpler in ,04, DeSean trolling the Giants as he seals the division in 2010, or Brandon Graham stripping the super bowl away from Brady, the Eagles have always delivered unforgettable football. Now the only question is: who do they play in your dream matchup?
