Eagles’ influx of Georgia players powering elite defense to Super Bowl 2025
NY Post
It wasn’t as if the Eagles’ defense needed an overhaul. They had a more-than-serviceable unit with a core in place in 2021 under then-defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon. There were holdovers — and anchors — left from the 2017 version that won the Super Bowl in Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox, too.
But then the Bulldogs arrived.
In the 2022 and 2023 drafts, the Eagles selected five Georgia defenders who’d contributed to the program’s consecutive national championships.
First, Philadelphia executive vice president and general manager Howie Roseman took defensive tackle Jordan Davis (No. 13 overall) and linebacker Nakobe Dean (No. 83 overall) in 2022.
One year later, they were joined by defensive tackle Jalen Carter (No. 9 overall), linebacker Nolan Smith (No. 30 overall) and cornerback Kelee Ringo (No. 105 overall).
And in their second professional season together, the quintet has served as contributors — with varying roles — on a defense that allowed the fewest yards per game and the second-fewest points per game this season.
