NFL All Quarter Century team: Best 53-man roster, coaches - ESPN
WR TERRELL OWENS: In the 11 seasons Owens played in this quarter century, he recorded three second-place finishes in DYAR and one infamous driveway news conference. He led the league in receiving touchdowns three times, and his 80.3 receiving yards per game ranks sixth among WRs with at least 50 games played since 2000. Owens would play through any injury for this team, as evidenced by his miraculous 122-yard performance in Super Bowl XXXIX after breaking his leg seven weeks earlier. [...] C JASON KELCE: Picking our lone center was a fairly straightforward call. While Maurkice Pouncey made the Pro Bowl nine times (versus Kelce’s seven), Kelce’s six first-team All-Pro selections are by far the most of any center — no other player has had more than two since 2000. Kelce helped lead the Eagles to two Super Bowl appearances and revolutionized third- and fourth-and-1s leaguewide with his critical role in the (still permitted!) tush push play. [...] RT LANE JOHNSON: Johnson leads all right tackles in Pro Bowl selections since 2000 with six; no other player who primarily played right tackle in that span has more than four. He has perhaps been at his best over the past couple of seasons. In 2023, he led all tackles in run block win rate and was ninth in pass block win rate. Last season, Johnson was fifth among tackles in both run block win rate and pass block win rate. [...] S BRIAN DAWKINS: Dawkins delivered some huge hits during his 12 seasons this quarter century, as evidenced by the fact that he forced the second-most fumbles among DBs in our span and finished with the third-most sacks. When Dawkins was on the Eagles from 2000 to ‘08, Philadelphia ranked third in EPA allowed per dropback on defense.

Eagles spring leftovers: A new defensive leader and more - NBCSP
A few years ago, Reed Blankenship was fighting to earn a spot on the Eagles’ roster as an undrafted rookie out of Middle Tennessee State. Now, he’s the veteran leader of an extremely young secondary. Blankenship is the guy veteran Darius Slay identified as the potential leader before his departure this offseason. “It’s an honor,” Blankenship said. “I came here with Slay, into the room with Slay. Just seeing how he operates, seeing how he leads. Just trying to model my leadership role like that. You come in to the league and he’s been here for years and you don’t know how he’s going...
