In honor of the Eagles being in the Super Bowl, we go back on memory lane to remember some Eagles greats you might have forgot about. Enjoy!

10. Eric Allen

Allen was a great cornerback that was super consistent year in and year out. Allen played for a couple of other teams but got his start with Philly and was a 5 time pro bowler with them. In 1993 Allen had 6 interceptions and returned an amazing 4 of them for touchdowns.

9. Keith Byars

Keith was the dual threat running back before it was cool to have dual threat running backs. While he never had a thousand yards rushing or receiving he had over a thousand total yards pretty much every season.

8. Chris Carter

All he does is catch touchdowns! This was never more true in 1989 when he led the Eagles with 11 touchdowns. But Chris had drug problems and Buddy Ryan knew he needed a change so he cut him. Carter joined the Vikings and after a couple of okay years he took off on his hall of fame career. But it all started in Philly.

7. Jerome Brown

Jerome was part of one of the best D lines of my youth joining Reggie White, Mike Golic and Clyde Simmons. Brown, sadly died in a car crash. RIP.

6. Clyde Simmons

Clyde had a long career with multiple teams. But he was most impressive with the Eagles and led the league in sacks with 19 in 1992 and accrued 76 sacks in 8 years with the Eagles.

5. Mike Quick

Mike was indeed quick. He was quick enough to lead the league in receiving yards in 1983 with over 1400 yards. He went to the pro bowl 5 years in a row.

4. Fred Barnett

Fred didn’t have a long career but when he was healthy and playing, Fred was a baller. He had a thousand yards two different times. Ironically, his cousin Tim Barnett played for the Chiefs.

3. Seth Joyner

Seth was a very talented linebacker who made plays everywhere. He was a good tackler, got sacks, interceptions and created fumbles. He was a key to the Eagles defensive success for many years.

2. Mark McMillian

Mighty Mouse was undersized in the NFL at 5’7. But he overcame his size to be a valuable contributor to the Eagles D. Mighty Mouse could have made either list as he played for the Chiefs later in his career and one year with the Chiefs he had 8 picks and 3 touchdowns.

1. Keith Jackson

This is not the famous sports announcer. Instead, Keith was a very talented tight end. He was a pro bowler 3 out of the 4 years he played for the Eagles. His career was short but he played well for the time he was in the league. I distinctly remember watching him trying to catch passes in the famous fog bowl.

Tune in tomorrow for 10 Chiefs you might have forgot about.
