Eagles GM Howie Roseman wins MVP — ‘Most Valuable Philadelphian’ — in city he considers ‘home’ - PHLY
Howie Roseman stood on the rooftop of the Independence Visitor Center with the Liberty Bell a few first downs away and the Constitution Center in his line of vision.

Philadelphia Eagles: Howie Roseman works his magic again. Howie Roseman continues to prove he’s a master of draft-day value. Year after year, the Eagles’ general manager finds a way to let top-tier talent fall right into his lap — and 2025 was no exception. This time, it was linebacker Jihaad Campbell, widely viewed as the best at his position, slipping to the 31st overall pick. Campbell earned grades above 75.0 in coverage, run defense, and as a pass rusher last season, showcasing the all-around skill set to step in immediately alongside Zack Baun.
