Philadelphia, PA – June 18, 2025
The NFL just dropped its annual Top 100 list for 2025, and the Philadelphia Eagles didn’t just show up — they took over. Ten players in midnight green earned a spot, sending shockwaves through the league and lighting up fan reactions across social media. For a team still riding high from a Super Bowl run, this recognition feels like validation — and motivation.
Headlining the list is A.J. Brown, who cracked the top 10 after another dominant season that included 1,498 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. “He’s a cheat code,” wrote one analyst on NFL Network. Not far behind is Jalen Hurts, who landed at No. 12 despite lingering debates over his postseason performances. His leadership, grit, and dual-threat ability continue to define the Eagles’ identity.
In a twist that surprised even diehard fans, rookie linebacker Jihaad Campbell made the cut after just one year in the league. The Alabama product is turning heads with elite speed and football IQ. “This kid’s already playing like a veteran,” said Eagles DC Vic Fangio in a recent presser.
Saquon Barkley, the reigning Super Bowl MVP, landed at No. 18, silencing critics who once called him a one-season wonder. His punishing 2024 campaign — including 2,500+ all-purpose yards — solidified his status as a generational back. “The fire is still burning,” Barkley told ESPN after the rankings were released.
The list also featured anchors like Lane Johnson, Jordan Mailata, and Jason Kelce’s heir apparent Cam Jurgens, showcasing the franchise’s continued dominance in the trenches. Jake Elliott, still riding the high of his clutch postseason heroics, earned a rare nod for a kicker, while Haason Reddick and James Bradberry represented a defense that’s hungry for more.
Fans on X were quick to react: “Ten guys?! That’s a dynasty in the making.” Others expressed concern over the pressure this kind of recognition brings. But for Eagles GM Howie Roseman, it’s proof that his blueprint is working. “We don’t just want stars — we want legends,” he told Bleeding Green Nation.
With this level of talent and recognition, expectations in Philadelphia have never been higher. And based on this Top 100 showing, the Eagles aren’t just meeting the hype — they’re soaring above it.
