The Philadelphia Eagles are among the most talented teams in all the NFL, and that infusion of greatness has been recognized once again, this time by CBS Sports. Pete Prisco ranked his top-100 players for the network, and five Eagles made the cut, headline by Fletcher Cox who landed fairly low on the list, at No. 18.
18. Fletcher Cox
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES DT
He is a force in the middle of the Eagles’ line. He can push the pocket but he’s also good against the run.43. Zach Ertz
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES TE
All he does is catch passes. Ertz is a big-time factor in the middle of the field.74. Carson Wentz
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES QB
Health is the only thing that has held him back. With a hefty new contract, he has to stay on the field.78. Lane Johnson
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES T
He’s a big part of their offense with how he holds up at right tackle. He’s good both in pass protection and in the run game.83. Jason Kelce
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES C
He remains one of the league’s best centers. His ability to move is so important to the Eagles’ offense.
The top five players on the list were Khalil Mack, Von Miller, Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes at No.2 and Aaron Donald as the top player on the list. Eagles guard Brandon Brooks, safety Malcolm Jenkins and defensive end Brandon Graham just missed being named to the list.
