Somehow, the Eagles pieced it together enough in the secondary in 2017 to win a Super Bowl. They did it with a cornerback picture that, heading into Training Camp, looked suspicious, at best.

An 11-year veteran, Celek was drafted by the Eagles in 2007 out of the University of Cincinnati and leaves Philadelphia with the fourth-most receptions in Eagles history (398).

Stefen Wisniewski walked towards his locker the Tuesday after the Eagles defeated the New England Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl LII, easily one of the most exciting championship games in NFL history. Looking at the 6-foot-3, 315 offensive lineman’s face as he made his way past the tables of autographed shiny blue helmets and white […]
“Selection Saturday” resulted in eight “Heroes of the Game” earning election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Hall’s selection committee held its annual selection meeting today in Minnesota to elect the Class of 2018.
In the Philadelphia Eagles Draft of 2012 they selected Fletcher Cox with the first pick. They had two selections in the second round and took Mychal Kendricks and Vinny Curry.
