6 Eagles Players Named To 2025 NFL Pro Bowl
The initial 2025 Pro Bowl roster is out, and there are a lot of familiar faces on it. 6 Eagles were named to the team. Here are the Eagles who made it.
- RB Saquon Barkley (Starter)
- LG Landon Dickerson (Starter)
- RT Lane Johnson (Starter)
- C Cam Jurgens
- LB Zack Baun
- DT Jalen Carter (Starter)
Barkley, Johnson, and Dickerson have all been selected before. But for Jurgens, Baun, and Carter, this is their 1st time receiving their honor.
There was obvious concern about how it would go with Cam Jurgens this year. Not because people doubted him, but because he was replacing a legend. Jason Kelce is a likely 1st ballot Hall of Famer. He retired as one of the best centers in NFL history. It is hard to go from that height, and not skip a beat, but Jurgens has filled right in.
Baun is also a surprise. Mostly because he had hardly ever played ILB before this season. He came to the Eagles having mostly been a rotational Edge Rusher. When Vic Fangio said before the season that Baun was one of the best LBs they had, people assumed he misspoke. Shows what we know. Baun won the starting job, and then went on to be one of the best Linebackers in the country. He is tied for the League Lead in Stops.
The other 4 are less surprising. Saquon came to the Eagles as one of the best backs in the league. Running behind 3 Pro Bowl Linemen, plus Jordan Mailata who arguably should have been a Pro Bowler, Barkley put together the 9th 2000-yard season ever. He had a shot at the record too, but with the last game meaning nothing Nick Sirianni decided to rest him. This is Barkley’s 3rd Pro Bowl Selection.
For Lane Johnson, it will be his 6th Pro Bowl in 12 seasons. Lane has proved himself to be one of the best tackles in the league period, and age has not taken its toll on him yet. Even as he battles through injuries every year, Johnson keeps proving he is still as good as ever. Recently he went toe to toe with TJ Watt, and gave up no ground.
For Dickerson, it is his 3rd Pro Bowl in 4 seasons. They drafted Dickerson out of Bama, with the intention he would one day replace Kelce. But he was so dominant at LG, they had no choice but to leave him there. This selection ties him with Brandon Brooks for the most Pro Bowls as a Guard in Eagles history.
Then finally there is Jalen Carter. Eagles knew they were getting a great player when he fell to them two drafts ago. He received All-Rookie honors last year, and nearly took Defensive Rookie Of The Year, but a late-season swoon cost him the award. He came back with a vengeance this year. Not only playing at a high level, with 61 Pressures, 5 pass deflections, and 3 Forced Fumbles, but playing nearly every snap too.
Eagles Also Have 12 Alternates For 2025 Pro Bowl
They had 6 Pro Bowlers, the 3rd most in the league. But they could have arguably had more. They might still get more. These 12 Players are alternates and could be added if players have to drop out.
1st Alternates
- WR AJ Brown
- LT Jordan Mailata
- CB Quinyon Mitchell
- EDGE- Josh Sweat
2nd Alternates
- QB Jalen Hurts
3rd Alternates
- CB Darius Slay
- LS Rick Lovato
4th Alternates
- PR Cooper DeJean
- P Braden Mann
5th Alternates
- K Jake Elliott
- EDGE Brandon Graham
- ST Kelee Ringo
AJ Brown and Jordan Mailata both missed time, likely hurting their cases. Still, you would be hard-pressed to find many players better than either of them at what they do. Quinyon Mitchell had a strong case, but it can be hard for rookies to get that recognition.
Ideally, none of them will be playing in it. If you are in the Super Bowl, you don’t play in the game, because it takes place in that off week between the Championship Games and the Super Bowl. So while it is nice to get the honor, hopefully, none of them will be in attendance.

5 Impressive Numbers From Eagles Big Win Over The Cowboys

Kickoff were a major issue last week. Braden Mann didn’t get a single touchback. Which is why they made the switch to Jake Elliott. Now granted, it was much warmer and hence easier to kick the ball out of the End Zone, but 5 of his 7 kickoffs went for a touchback. When the kick was returned, the Eagles did a much better job covering the return. Kavonte Turpin, the best return man in the league, averaged just 24 yards per return.
After giving up favorable field position on nearly every drive against the Commanders, the Eagles were able to win that battle this week. Elliott should continue to handle those duties going forward. Maybe it will help him keep warm too and lead to better results on long FGs.
