5 Eagles players who could make their first Pro-Bowl in 2019

The Philadelphia Eagles are a talented team, filled with guys on the doorstep of stardom. Even while making All Pro’s and racking up accolades from analytic groups, the Eagles still have a handful of guys who have never been outright voted into the Pro Bowl.

With the season set to start in less than three months, here are five Eagles players could make their first Pro Bowl in 2019.

Derek Barnett

Barnett is returning from season-ending shoulder surgery and should hit training camp as the Eagles second best pass rusher. If can he duplicate Michael Bennett’s pressure off the edge while racking up a good sack total, Barnett could be primed for a breakout season and his first Pro Bowl.

Nigel Bradham

Bradham started off last season slow, but made big plays and was the Eagles most consistent linebacker even while playing with a broken hand. Bradham has competition as his position from Luke Kuechly, Bobby Wagner and the Cowboys Leighton Vader Esch.

Cameron Johnston

In his first NFL season, Johnston averaged 48.1 yards per punt (third in the NFL) and a net average of 42.7 (fourth in the NFL), both were single-season franchise records.

Ronald Darby

Darby started the first nine games at cornerback for the Eagles last season before suffering a season-ending torn ACL in Week 10. Darby finished the season with 43 tackles, 12 passes defensed and one interception. The 25-year old has had three successful seasons in the NFL (with two different teams) and has yet to make a Pro Bowl. That could change this season.

Brandon Graham

Graham was a second-team All-Pro selection in 2016, led the Super Bowl LII champion Philadelphia Eagles in quarterback sacks with 9.5 during the 2017 NFL season, yet has never been outright voted to the Pro Bowl. He has been an alternate, making the Pro Bowl and double-digit sacks are a goal Graham is chasing this season.
