79. Todd Herremans

Brandon Brooks gets a well-deserved nod here. He’s a close second to the guy that played ten seasons at guard. Todd Herremans endeared himself to the fans with his blue-collar work ethic, and he still holds a place in their hearts to this day.

78. Carl Hairston

Hollis Thomas and Matt Darwin get some love here as well, but Carl Hairston was a key piece in getting the Eagles past the Cowboys an NFC Championship Game and into Super Bowl XV.

This former seventh-round draft selection played eight seasons in an Eagles jersey, and he edges out Hollis Thomas for this spot on this list.

77. Artis Hicks

Had he been an Eagle longer, Michael Bennett might have worked his name into this spot, but for now, we’ll give this to Artis Hicks. Plus, Hicks helped Philly to a conference title after 2004’s regular season.

76. Jerry Sisemore

Jerry Sisemore and Stan Walters were Jason Peters and Lane Johnson before there was a Peters and Johnson to marvel over. Sisemore played for 12 seasons in Eagles green and earned two Pro Bowl nods in the process (1979 and 1981). He’s also a member of the Eagles Hall of Fame.

75. Stan Walters

Stan Walters spent three seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals (1972-1974) before joining the Eagles in 1975. There, he made his mark, earning two Pro Bowl nods (1978, 1979) and joining the Eagles Hall of Fame when his playing days were over.

We’re not done yet ladies and gentlemen, 74-50 is on the way, and the debate table is wide open.
