time2rock Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 7 Eagles who could be first time Pro Bowlers in 2021 Glenn Erby November 18, 2021 6:44 am ET With the second half of the NFL season rolling full speed ahead, the NFL just announced the opening of Pro Bowl voting all across the league, and the Eagles had 27 players land on the ballot. Miles Sanders was a shocking omission, but this talented team could have several first-time Pro Bowlers if Philadelphia can make a late playoff run. Below is a look at seven Eagles who could get the nod. 1. QB Jalen Hurts Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports The Eagles quarterback has an excellent chance of making the team. Hurts is 9th in the NFC in passing yards with 2,159, and touchdowns (13), while his 547 rushing yards are 6th in the NFC. Hurts is the 5th highest-graded quarterback in the NFC. 2. WR DeVonta Smith Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports Smith is 16th in the NFC in receptions with 42. His 603 receiving yards are 12 in the NFC. Barring a monster five or six-game stretch, Smith would probably need a few guys to drop out and a few teammates to make the Super Bowl. 3. LT Jordan Mailata (AP Photo/David Zalubowski) Mailata is the 9th highest graded tackle in the NFC and 15th highest graded in the entire NFL according to Pro Football Focus. 4. DT Javon Hargrave Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports Hargrave is the 60th highest graded defensive tackle in the NFL, his 6.0 sacks are top-10 in the NFC. 5. LB Shaun Bradley (AP Photo/Bart Young) Bradley is in his second NFL season after the Eagles made him a sixth-round draft pick out of Temple, and the South Jersey native is carving out quite the niche. The athletic linebacker is currently tied for first in the NFC and tied for second in the NFL with 10 tackles on special teams. 6. Punter Arryn Siposs (AP Photo/Matt Slocum) Arryn Siposs has a 46.3 yard average and 40.6-yard net. 7. TE Dallas Goedert (AP Photo/Jack Dempsey) Goedert is the 3rd highest graded tight end in the NFL according to Pro Football Focus. Now the Eagles’ top tight end, Goedert has 29 catches for 429 yards, with a 14.8 yards per catch average and 2 touchdowns. https://theeagleswire.usatoday.com/lists/philadelphia-eagles-pro-bowl-2021-devonta-smith-javon-hargrave-shaun-bradley/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Siposs definitely should make it. Mailata could but I'm not sure the rest will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
