7 Philadelphia Eagles who might earn their first Pro Bowl selection in 2025

The Eagles have one of the best rosters in the NFL with few holes or personnel deficits. Philadelphia suffered several losses in the secondary and defensive line, but managed to improve in the short term, while accumulating potential All-Pro talent in the draft. The first wave of free agency saw Josh Sweat (Cardinals), Milton Williams (Patriots), Kenneth Gainwell (Steelers), Mekhi Becton (Chargers), and Oren Burks (Bengals) all depart.

On defense, Vic Fangio was forced to replace Darius Slay (Steelers), Isaiah Rodgers (Vikings), Avonte Maddox (Lions), and James Bradberry (UFA), all of whom departed following the Super Bowl roster.

New seasons offer new opportunities for greatness, and with training camp fast approaching, we're looking at seven Eagles who could earn their first Pro Bowl nod in 2025.

OL Jordan Mailata

Mailata was a Pro Bowl snub last season, but he's arguably the best left tackle in the NFL from an analytical basis. According to Pro Football Focus, Mailata (96.9) led the entire NFL in offensive grade and run-blocking grade (94.9). In addition, Mailata ranked 2nd in the NFL with a 91.7 pass-blocking grade, behind Tristan Wirfs (93.7).

DB Cooper DeJean

After missing most of training camp with a hamstring injury, DeJean got a late start but more than made up for it after the bye. Last season, after entering the lineup in Week 6, DeJean proved to be the top slot corner in the NFL. According to NFL.com, when targeted (28.3%), his EPA was the best mark among all nickel backs and the second-best among all defensive backs. His -0.46 EPA per target ranks second among all corners (minimum of 300 coverage snaps), behind only Pat Surtain II. At one point last season, DeJean allowed a league-low 4.8 yards per target when aligned in the slot (minimum of 20 targets) and hadn't given up a score as a slot defender, with five passes defended. Entering Week 18 of last season, the Eagles' defense allowed over one fewer yard per pass attempt with DeJean on the field (5.6) than when he was off it (7.0). DeJean, who did not allow a TD in coverage in 2024, became the youngest player (22) to record an INT-TD in a Super Bowl when he had a 38-yard INT-TD against Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl LIX.

TE Dallas Goedert

Goedert (team-record 52 career playoff catches) led the Eagles in receptions (17) and receiving yards (215) in the postseason. After reworking his deal, the talented tight end could earn his first out-right Pro Bowl nod.

CB Quinyon Mitchell

The No. 22 in the 2024 NFL draft played a significant role in the Eagles' defensive turnaround. As a rookie, Mitchell ranked 2nd among NFL CBs with 16 forced incompletions, trailing only Denzel Ward (17). He also ranked 3rd among CBs in yards allowed per coverage snap (0.77) (min. 600 coverage snaps).

DT Jordan Davis

Davis has been a solid run-stopper, but he's never played 600 snaps in a season. In 2024, he logged 27 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sack and two passes defended, while playing in all 17 regular-season games. His production increased during the postseason, with six tackles (four solo), including two sacks and one pass defense, across four playoff appearances. According to PFF, Davis has produced a sub-8.0% pass-rush win rate in the past two years, and his ten pressures are ranked 90th out of 219 eligible defensive tackles. During the playoffs, the production increased (two sacks, two tackles for loss in four playoff games). Improved production on passing downs could enable Davis to become a three-down player, potentially earning a more lucrative contract.

WR DeVonta Smith

Last season, Smith posted a career-high eight touchdowns in the regular season and hauled in a 46-yard touchdown in Super Bowl LIX. Adding more accolades to his resume, he became the franchise’s all-time leader in postseason receiving yards (595).

DB Reed Blankenship

Helping Philadelphia own the NFL’s No. 1-ranked total defense, Blankenship logged 78 tackles (52 solo), six pass defenses (including four interceptions), and one fumble recovery in 15 regular-season games in 2024. Blankenship improved during the playoffs, logging 27 tackles (18 solo), one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery during the Eagles ' four-game run to the Super Bowl.
