Eagles built a Super Bowl team with strong drafts and smart acquisitions and give Houston...
Eagles running back Miles Sanders, after a first down against the Texans, is one of the team's homegrown players.Three years after winning their first Super Bowl title, the Eagles hit rock bottom in 2020.
On paper, the Eagles look like a complete team. They have six All-Pro players, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, who was a finalist for the NFL's MVP award, and were coached by Nick Siriani, a finalist for the the AP Coach of the Year award. They ranked second in the NFL in total defense and third in total offense. They have one of the best offensive lines and one of the best defensive lines in the league.
“This is a young team,” new Texans coach DeMeco Ryans, who was hired earlier this month, said at his introductory press conference. “We're on the cusp. We have to add some pieces to what we're doing here, but I'm so excited to get started.” From Hurts to wide receiver DeVonta Smith, running back Miles Sanders and center Jason Kelce, all of those players are homegrown. They range from first- to seventh-round picks. Hurts was drafted in the second round in 2020 and remains on his rookie contract, counting only $1.6 million against the team’s salary cap during the 2022 season. His cap number will increase to only $4.79 million in 2023, which will be the final year of his rookie deal, unless the Eagles sign him to an extension.
