Top 10 Best Philadelphia Eagles Players Going Into the 2018 Season
The champions of Super Bowl LII had an amazing roster last year that brought them to the big game. They’ve now signed and released key players, but who is the best of those guys? We’re looking at the top ten best Philadelphia Eagles players going into the 2018 season.
Carson Wentz is an American football quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League. He played college football at North Dakota State University. He was drafted by the Eagles with the second overall pick of the 2016 NFL draft, becoming the highest drafted quarterback from an... read more After an MVP-caliber season ended with an ACL injury, many fans hope he'll get right back on track in 2018. And he will. He's the best player by a mile on this Super Bowl champion Eagles team, and he can bring them into a Patriot-like dynasty.
Fletcher Cox is an American football defensive end for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League. Cox finished 2017 with 5.5 sacks, a forced fumble, a touchdown, and a well-deserved Super Bowl win. With Michael Bennett at his side, he'll cause chaos the whole season.
Jason Raynard Peters is an American football offensive tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League. He's old and coming off a missed season. But I have faith the future Hall of Famer can hold up. He's the best offensive lineman on an incredibly talented Philadelphia O-line.
Michael Bennett, Jr. is an American football defensive end for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League. Seattle made a huge mistake getting rid of him. He's still as disruptive as a lineman as he ever was, and he'll band together with Fletcher Cox to become one of the best pass-rushing duos in the NFL.
Zachary Adam Ertz is an American football tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League. He's a top-five tight end in the NFL currently, having caught 8 touchdowns and accumulated over 800 yards receiving. Once Gronk retires, it could very well be Ertz and Travis Kelce battling it out for the league's best tight end.
David Lane Johnson is an American football offensive tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League. Now that the Eagles aren't the underdogs anymore, he can put away that dog mask. It appears the Eagles are on yet another "Lane" to Super Bowl LIII (see what I did there... no one appreciates football puns). Anyway, Lane Johnson has been one of the league's best linemen for years, but not many have recognized him for it until during the 2017-2018 playoffs. He'll continue to dominate in 2018.
Alshon Jeffery is an American football wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League.
Jeffrey was drafted 2nd round forty fifth overall to the Chicago Bears. Finally, he's somewhere where he can produce. He totaled 789 receiving yards and 9 touchdowns in 2017, and I expect that number to either stay the same or increase in 2018. Needless to say, Jeffery is their number one receiver.
Nelson Agholor is an American football wide receiver for the New England Patriots of the National Football League. 768 yards and 8 touchdowns isn't bad at all. The Eagles have their cemented number two wide receiver in Agholor, who produces numbers almost the same as Alshon Jeffery.
Jay Ajayi is an American football running back for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League. He played college football at Boise State and was drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. The idiotic Dolphins decided to trade their number one running back right before the trade deadline in October 2017. He wasn't producing much in Miami, but rushed for a little above 400 yards in Philadelphia and scored a touchdown. Now with LeGarrette Blount gone, it's up to him to assume the role of top running back on the roster.
He had a solid 2017 season, intercepting two passes and racking up one sack and a forced fumble. He's been a good safety for years and will continue that trend in 2018.
Nicholas Edward Foles is an American football quarterback for the Chicago Bears of the National Football League. He was named MVP of Super Bowl LII.
