20 Former Philadelphia Eagles who deserve Hall of Fame consideration

12. Jim Johnson, Defensive Coordinator

You can’t mention the Eagles defense without bringing up Jim Johnson at some point. He’s the reason for the team’s success on defense from 1999 to 2008 and partially responsible for the reason that Eagles greats like Jeremiah Trotter and Brian Dawkins became what they became.

The Eagles placed him in their Hall of Fame in 2011.

13. Mike Quick

Some of you younger Eagles fans know Mike Quick as the color guy for Philly’s radio team on game days. Before that, he made five Pro Bowls and was named a First-team All-Pro twice. He was the NFL receiving yards leader in 1983. He also owns a record that can’t be broken thanks to a 99-yard touchdown reception from Ron Jaworski in 1985. He entered the Eagles Hall of Fame in 1995.

14. Seth Joyner

Like Harold Carmichael, Seth Joyner would have succeeded in any era of pro football. This Sports Illustrated NFL Defensive Player of the Year from 1991 racked up three Pro Bowl nods, two First-team All-Pro nods (1991, 1993), a second-team All-Pro nod in 1992, and he won a Super Bowl in 1999 with the Denver Broncos.

Many believe he should have won one with Philly, and had Bryce Paup not wrecked Randall Cunningham‘s knee in 1991 or had a fog not descended on Soldier Field in 1988, that might have happened. Joyner is a member of Philadelphia Eagles 75th Anniversary Team and the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame.

One can only guess about why we don’t talk about him more.
