The Philadelphia Eagles had an unforgettable 2025 season that culminated in a blowout Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, and now they will attempt to repeat as champions entering the 2025 season. Thanks to general manager Howie Roseman’s vision, the franchise is well-positioned to defend its title, and nine Eagles players have cracked PFSN’s metric-based Top 100 Players list for 2025.
Which Eagles Made PFSN’s Top 100 Players List?
WR A.J. Brown, No. 11
A.J. Brown was the centerpiece of the Eagles’ passing attack in 2024 and was a second-team All-Pro selection. He leads Philadelphia in PFSN’s Top 100 Players list and is ranked 11th overall. Among all wide receivers, Brown finished second behind only Cincinnati Bengals superstar Ja’Marr Chase. Brown finished second in PFSN’s WR+ metric behind Chase as well.
“His efficiency was elite, ranking third in yards per route run (2.61) and 10th in yards per reception (16.1). The alpha wideout was a constant deep threat, posting an average depth of target of 12.8 yards and a 59.4% contested catch rate,” wrote PFSN’s Stats and Insights team.
“Brown’s reliability also stood out, as he maintained a low drop rate (2.5%) and averaged 5.1 yards after catch per reception, a nod to his versatility in this elite offense.”
LB Zack Baun, No. 14
Zack Baun had a career year in 2024, making his maiden Pro Bowl and All-Pro teams. He is ranked 14th overall and No. 1 among the linebackers heading into the 2025 season.
“Baun led the NFL with 150 total tackles and 79 defensive stops, consistently shutting down plays at or near the line of scrimmage. He ranked seventh among linebackers with 16 pressures and ninth in pressure rate, showing his ability to disrupt quarterbacks as a blitzer when called upon.”
“He also proved valuable in coverage, finishing second among linebackers with six combined interceptions and pass breakups, while maintaining a solid 11.2% missed tackle rate. In short, there’s nothing he can’t do.”
Baun was rewarded with a three-year, $51 million deal by Roseman and will remain the focal point of the Eagles’ defense in the coming years.
OT Lane Johnson, No. 17
Lane Johnson has been with the Eagles for over a decade and continued to produce at an elite level even at age 34 during the 2024 season. He ranks No. 1 among the OTs in PFSN’s list. He was once again named to an All-Pro team in 2024 and was rewarded with an extension that will see him make $48 million over the next two seasons.
“The two-time All-Pro selection allowed just 14 pressures all season, ranking 10th among all tackles. Johnson also surrendered only one sack and one quarterback hit, ranking sixth in both categories. He consistently neutralized some of the league’s top edge rushers, showcasing his elite pass protection skills.”
OT Jordan Mailata, No. 18
Just one place above Johnson is Jordan Mailata at No. 18. He made his maiden second-team All-Pro in 2024 and became the first Australian to start in a Super Bowl and win it.
“He allowed just 20 pressures, ranking 23rd among tackles, and was nearly flawless in pass protection, surrendering just two sacks (13th) and no quarterback hits on the year.
“Mailata started all 12 games at left tackle, providing consistent protection for Jalen Hurts and paving the way for a top-five rushing attack. His combination of size, athleticism, and technique made him a dominant force in both the run and pass games.”
QB Jalen Hurts, No. 30
The debate over whether Jalen Hurts is an elite quarterback is far from being settled, but he came clutch for the Eagles in Super Bowl 59 and earned MVP honors. While Hurts failed to reach 3,000 passing yards for the first time since his rookie year, he led the Eagles to an impressive 14-3 record and is ranked the 30th-best player in 2025.

“Hurts was the fourth-best quarterback in QB+ with a strong combination of advanced metrics. He led the NFL with an 80.4% adjusted completion rate. He ranked fourth in yards per attempt (8.0) and led the league in close game EPA per dropback (+0.52). The Super Bowl MVP added value on the ground with 630 yards and 14 touchdowns on 150 carries.”
DT Jalen Carter, No. 37
Jalen Carter is entering his third year in the NFL and is coming off a career year in which he made his maiden Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro teams. The former Georgia Bulldog recorded 42 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks and is ranked as the 37th best player in 2025.
“Carter thrived when rushing the passer from his interior defensive line spot. He finished third among all defensive tackles with 53 pressures and 17 quarterback hits. He also posted a strong 10.4% pressure rate.
“Carter is only 24 years old, and the sky appears to be the limit for him. With his power and quickness, the Eagles star is a true game-wrecker, consistently collapsing pockets and putting quarterbacks on their back foot.”
CB Cooper DeJean, No. 58
What is better than winning a Super Bowl as a rookie?! Cooper DeJean, a second-round pick, put up an impressive rookie campaign and is ranked as the fifth-best corner in the league and the 58th player overall.
“He finished the year with 51 tackles, three for loss, and six pass breakups. DeJean’s advanced numbers reflect a young cornerback with plenty of promise heading into Year 2. He was targeted 70 times on the season, allowing a 70% completion rate and an 81.6 passer rating. He didn’t give up a single touchdown despite being challenged often.
“Philadelphia lost some key players this offseason, including cornerbacks Darius Slay and Isaiah Rodgers, so Vic Fangio will rely on his young duo to take the next step in 2025. With DeJean and Mitchell at cornerback, the Eagles’ secondary has a bright future.”
COOPER DEJEAN PICK TO THE HOUSE!

RB Saquon Barkley, No. 64
Saquon Barkley is ranked the 64th-best player in the league, and one might argue his ranking could have been a little better. He was the second-best running back, per PFSN’s RB+ metric, and as a result, is second on the list as well behind Derrick Henry.
“Barkley delivered a historic campaign in his first season with the Eagles, much to the chagrin of Giants fans. He posted elite production, leading the NFL with 2,005 rushing yards on 345 carries across 16 regular-season games, averaging 5.8 yards per carry, and scoring 13 rushing touchdowns.
“Barkley earned his first All-Pro selection, won Offensive Player of the Year honors, and finished third in MVP voting behind Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen – he was that good. While he was a catalyst for the offense’s success last year, it will be interesting to see if the Eagles dial back his touches a bit in 2025.”
CB Quinyon Mitchell, No. 94
Quinyon Mitchell is the last Eagles’ player to make the cut and is ranked 94th overall. A first-round pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, the 23-year-old delivered on his pre-draft hype and finished second in Defensive Roo
kie of the Year voting after recording 46 tackles and 12 pass breakups.“Mitchell’s advanced metrics suggest he could be on an elite trajectory. Opposing quarterbacks targeted him 88 times (15th in the NFL), and he allowed just 1.78 yards after the catch per reception (first) and a 56.8% catch rate (21st).
“Mitchell was also lockdown in coverage in the playoffs, picking off two passes and allowing a 33.3 passer rating on 20 targets. With valuable starting experience in Year 1 and a full offseason of putting in work, he could take the next step in 2025.”
