The Eagles Nest: A Flock of Crimson Takes Over Philly
Ever since Rocky Balboa punched his way into our hearts (and Adrian punched his way into Drago's), Philadelphia has been known for underdogs and fighting spirit. But this season, the Eagles have a secret weapon – a whole lotta Alabama!
That's right, folks. The City of Brotherly Love has become a haven for former Crimson Tide players. We're talking about a tidal wave, a crimson hurricane, a... well, you get the idea. There are so many Alabama players on the Eagles, you might start mistaking cheesesteaks for chicken fried steak!

| How Many Alabama Players Are On The Philadelphia Eagles |
But Seriously, How Many?
Hold onto your helmets, Eagles fans, because the magic number is seven! Seven talented players who traded the crimson for the midnight green. That's more than a lucky number, that's a full-on touchdown celebration.
Here's a quick huddle with our Eagles' Alabama alumni:
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
- Jalen Hurts: The quarterback with a championship pedigree, leading the charge on offense.
- DeVonta Smith: Hurts' college teammate and favorite target, ready to stretch the field.
- Landon Dickerson & Tyler Steen: Anchoring the offensive line like a well-seasoned pot of gumbo.
- Josh Jobe & Eli Ricks: Locking down the defense and making opposing receivers cry harder than a homesick Bama freshman.
- Julio Jones: The veteran wide receiver, hoping to add a Philly fling to his trophy case.
This Alabama influx has some fans wondering...
Is the Linc becoming Bryant-Denny Stadium East?
Not quite, but the Eagles are definitely building a "Crimson Tide Rising" section. With this much talent, it's no wonder Philly is buzzing with Super Bowl dreams. Nick Sirianni might need to swap his play calls for coachspeak like "Roll Tide" and "Yessir!"
But hey, if it wins us a Lombardi Trophy, we'll all be saying "War Eagle" by February!
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
