14. A.J. Feeley

Believe it or not, this came down to Ty Detmer and A.J. Feeley. The nod goes to Feeley here because of the way he filled in for both Donovan McNabb and Ty’s little brother Koy Detmer. He also had a few more physical gifts.

13. Nelson Agholor

Who else are you going to put here? Josh Huff? Nelson Agholor has had his troubles from time to time, but he was money during the Eagles Super Bowl run, making clutch catches look routine.

12. Randall Cunningham

The only man that you think of when you think of ’12; in an Eagles jersey is another one of those entries that fall under the category of obvious. Randall Cunningham was, is, and always will be one of the most beloved Eagles of all time.

11. Norm Van Brocklin

Could this spot belong to Carson Wentz one day? Wait. Now that we think about it, how is Norm Van Brocklin‘s number not retired already?

10. DeSean Jackson

DeSean Jackson is set to begin his second stint in Philly. Here’s the most exciting thing about that. The second time could actually end up being better than the first. He’s already racked up 356 receptions, 6,117 receiving yards and 32 touchdowns as a member of the Eagles to this point.
