Philly Special Steal Steaks

QB Jalen Hurts

Has to go down as one of the greatest 2nd round franchise QB steal in the history of the NFL. Hurts is a paragon of poise, perseverance, work ethic, modest leadership and precision passing.

RB Saquon Barkley

The Eagles were a mess at the end of the 2023 season. Signing Saquon Barkley was a literal and figurative game changer for the level of outstanding championship-caliber play on the field and the ultimate culture booster. How the Giants ever let him leave the building, especially to land with their most contentious NFC East division rival is unfathomable.

WR A.J. Brown

How and why the Titans ever let go of him and the prodigious physical and mental toughness he brings to his team is equally unfathomable.

LB Zach Baun

From part-time player in New Orleans to All-Pro, Super Bowl Champion MLB in New Orleans in a matter of 12 months.

OC Kellen Moore

Talk about putting the offense in the perfect hands. Kellen Moore’s genius this season was adapting...
