Top 3 One Season Wonders for the Philadelphia Eagles (video of my favorite one season wonders)

So for the next top 3 discussion, I was wondering if I could get everyone's opinions about their Top 3 One Season Wonders with the Philadelphia Eagles. These are players that were nothing short of spectacular for 1 season and never did anything else again. One offensive, one defensive and one special teams players. What are your favorite one season wonders?

Riley Cooper had that one season that sucked far less than the others. As did Nelson Agholor

Could we even consider Dimitri Patterson good in 2010?

Haha did you say "Brandon Boykins" the first time you said the name?

He was okay. Now if you're a Baldy guy, you probably thought Patterson played like a Hall of Famer that year.

Offense: Bobby Hoying - 2nd half of the 1997 season (honorable mention Freddie -I want to thank my hands for being so great- Mitchell)

Defense - Greg Brown- 16 sacks in 1986 (defense is tough, this is more of a 2 season wonder)

Special teams is also tough but I'll go with Vince Papale.

ST- Cody Parkey, pro bowl rookie year and then crap

Defense- Jamar Chaney, 92 tackles, 3 ints 

Offense- Kevin Curtis, 1110 yards, 6 TDs

Offense: Ryan Moats - Fools were ready to trade Westy.

Defense: Stewart Bradley - That Eagles fan night event legit wrecked his career

Offense: so many receivers...

     Terrell Owens? Although even in his second season he put up good numbers, for the limited time he was here. (TO and Chris Carter are in the same boat for me)

     Donte Stallworth: boy he had me fooled

     Jeff Garcia: Man that was a fun season

     Kevin Curtis (we expected too much)

Defense: 

     Brandon Boykin (still one of my favorite players ever as a Dawgs fan)

     Omar Gaither (i feel like he had one really nice year that got me excited and then he fell off a cliff)

S/T:

     Alex Henery (always kinda disliked him, maybe it was because we used a pick)

     Allen Rossum: (Why did we ever get rid of him, the dude carved out a lengthy career... oh yeah Brian Mitchell)

 

I feel there were a couple of rental mercenaries during our super bowl run?

For some reason Reggie Brown was the first name that popped into my head. Agreed with Jamar Chaney, Stewart Bradley.  I think Bradley could have been good in a league where linebackers actually still mattered.

Updated with my defense and added in JR Reed to Sp Teams.

Mitchell was never great for a full season

or even average for a full season

The guy who immediately comes to mind for me is Stewart Bradley on defense in 2008.

I say this every time he is brought up but I fully believe that Stewart Bradley would have been a monster if not for that godforsaken flight night. I will die on that hill

As for weaver he already was a beast, an absolute unit. A damn shame that both had their careers ruined by injury.

To me a one year wonder is someone who legitimately wasn't good outside of one year. I'd probably say agholor in 2017 on offense. I like the jamar chaney pick on defense, though he wasn't too bad given where he was drafted

Agreed on Bradley and Weaver. Real shame about Weaver, such a good player.

I disagree on Agholor. He was pretty good in both 2017 and 2018. It genuinely looked like he had turned the corner into a good number 2/3 receiver, albeit still a slight first round disappointment. Then fell off a cliff. Certainly a two year wonder.

Offense: Chris T. Jones (Was looking to become the next great Eagles WR before he got hurt).

Defense: Stewart Bradley (Just like Jones, above, he looked like he was the future at LB for the Eagles, before he got hurt)

Special Teams: Luis Zendejas (Looked like he could have been the answer at kicker and then add the Dallas rift, snow ball game, etc...he just comes to mind)
