Some players could use a change of scenery to recapture their confidence, as seen in past Philadelphia Eagles players. Others find themselves in dire need of a change in scheme to optimize their talents.
And at the end of the day, sometimes a fresh start somewhere far away is required to quell the critics, to reset and reload.
For former Eagles cornerback Josh Jobe, it appears all the above are true, as the once-undrafted cornerback out of Alabama has finally found a seamless fit for himself out in the Pacific Northwest.
Josh Jobe played well in Super Bowl LX for Seattle Seahawks
Playing a prominent role throughout the evening for an elite Seahawks defense, Jobe answered the call time and again in Seattle's 29-13 Super Bowl LX victory over the New England Patriots. He also mixed it up with Stefon Diggs for good measure, as Jobe and the tenacious Seattle defense sent statement after statement in a relentless showing to stymie Drake Maye, Diggs, and a shell-shocked Patriots offense.
Now a Super Bowl champion, it's been a meteoric rise for Jobe, who has ascended from practice-squad member to key Super Bowl starter. On the evening, the former Eagle, who spent two seasons struggling to make a name for himself in Philadelphia, certainly made his presence known on the world's biggest stage. And while former Eagle Milton Williams was busy dazzling in the trenches, Jobe shined by way of air.
Out of the 10 times he was targeted in Super Bowl LX, Jobe surrendered just three catches for a measly 11 yards, per Next Gen Stats. He added seven tackles and a key pass breakup as well. His elite performance put the finishing touches on a superb second season in Seattle for the fourth-year corner, as the 2025 campaign saw him finish fifth among leaguewide defenders in completion percentage allowed (46.1%, per Next Gen Stats).

Sometimes, a fresh start and a new path forward are all it takes. And in the case of Josh Jobe, his spirited climb from early-career struggles to Super Bowl glory is nothing short of remarkable.
