Crossing Broad
The Eagles season is over. They did not repeat as Super Bowl champs.
As we turn our attention to the offensive coordinator search, free agency, and April’s draft, a look at the top players from the 2025 campaign:
Didn’t allow a touchdown pass until the playoffs. And when he did, he followed it up with two interceptions of Brock Purdy to put the Eagles’ in a position to win the game.
Mitchell is the best outside cornerback the Eagles have had in 20 years. He’s a true lockdown player.
Picked up where he left off in 2024, just a brilliant slot player who does everything well. He covers, tackles in space, contributes to run defense, and always plays a smart and disciplined game. He was second on the team in both tackles and pass break ups, a good snapshot of his two-way versatility.
A huge step forward for Davis, who had his best year as an Eagle. His blocked field goal won the Rams game, while he finished with a career high in sacks (4.5), TFL (9), batted balls (6), and QB hits (6). He played all 17 games and logged a career-high 686 defensive snaps (61%) while lining up 141 times on special teams (32%). His conditioning vastly improved and he took on a bigger role after Milton Williams departed in free agency.
He didn’t block well this season, but nobody on the offense did.
Goedert, however, caught a career-high 11 touchdown passes and added two more in the playoffs, having his best scoring season ever. He was healthy and productive, a key red zone threat who took a pay cut to come back for the chance to repeat.
Another Pro Bowl season for Baun, who led the Birds with 123 tackles. He picked off two passes, defended seven, and logged 3.5 sacks, 7 TFL, and six quarterback hits. He played 1,038 snaps, amounting to 98% of what was available on the defensive side of the ball.
“Impactful” would be a great way to describe Jalyx Hunt’s sophomore season. He flashed with a high ceiling, leading the Eagles in interceptions (3), sacks (6.5), and QB hits (24).
With offseason departures at EDGE, and general churn at the position, Hunt emerged with 693 defensive snaps this year, way up from 241 as a rookie. He took a huge leap in year #2 and looks to be a key piece of the future.
The Crossing Broad staff was mixed on where to rank Carter, who only played 11 games this season and still earned a Pro Bowl nod, maybe at the expense of Davis.
When he did play, he was among the best on the field, blowing up plays, hitting the quarterback, occupying double teams, and being a menace in general. The stats don’t pop because of the lesser number of games played,...
