How Many is "A Whole Lotta Crimson"?
Hold onto your cheese steaks, Eagles fans, because we're talking a whopping seven former Alabama players currently soaring for the Eagles. That's right, seven! More than a lucky number, that's a full-on touchdown celebration.
Here's a quick huddle with our Eagles' Alabama alumni:
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
- Jalen Hurts, Quarterback: The face of the franchise, Hurts brings his championship pedigree (though technically at Oklahoma, his Bama roots run deep) to lead the Eagles' offense.
- DeVonta Smith, Wide Receiver: Hurts' college teammate and fellow champion, Smith stretches the field with his blazing speed and sure hands.
- Landon Dickerson & Tyler Steen, Offensive Line: These two maulers pave the way for the Eagles' ground game, making sure Hurts has a clean pocket and the running backs have room to rumble.
- Josh Jobe & Eli Ricks, Cornerbacks: This defensive duo locks down opposing receivers, making sure no one flies past them like an Alabama runaway train.
- Julio Jones (maybe): Okay, this one's a bit of a mystery. Rumors of the legendary Julio Jones joining the Eagles swirled after his release from the Falcons. Will he suit up in midnight green? Only time (and Howie Roseman) will tell.
So, Why the Alabama Pipeline to Philly?
There's no official Nick Saban-to-Eagles hotline (as far as we know), but a few reasons come to mind:
- Success Breeds Success: The Eagles see the winning tradition of Alabama and figure, "Hey, that works!" It's a gamble that's definitely paid off so far.
- Scouting Prowess: Maybe the Eagles' scouts just have a knack for spotting future stars in Tuscaloosa.
- Love for the Process (Trust the Process... Part Two?): Perhaps there's a shared love for building through the draft, something both Alabama and the Eagles are known for.
Whatever the reason, Eagles fans are happy to have a touch of Alabama magic on their team. Roll Tide... or maybe Fly Eagles Fly in this case?
