When you first take a look at the list of Eagles players in the Hall of Fame, the first thing that stands out are the wide receivers. Seeing names like Cris Carter, Terrell Owens, and Art Monk really emphasizes just how much history the Eagles have at wideout, even if it was just for a few seasons in a longer Hall of Fame career. Here's a look at the entire 24-player list of former Eagles now enshrined in Canton.

As for the next Eagles players most likely to make it, here are a few names to keep an eye on.

Jason Kelce

When you're not-infrequently referred to as the best center of all-time, even making this argument feels kinda like a waste of words. Six First Team All-Pro nods in 13 years, seven Pro Bowls, and 193 starts in 193 games.

He's one of the most recognizable players of the modern era, has a Super Bowl ring, and will probably podcast from Canton, like, 20 minutes before it happens.

Fletcher Cox

A whole bunch of defensive tackles who played in the Aaron Donald era probably didn't get quite as much praise as they deserved, but, you know, it's Aaron Donald. He may not get there immediately, but Cox's resume sure looks like a Hall of Fame one. He made the All-Decade team, has four All-Pro nods, and went to six Pro Bowls.

His combo of sacks, games played, and a Super Bowl ring puts him in an elite category of defensive tackles, all of which are either already in the Hall of Fame or future first-ballot guys. It'll take longer for Cox to get in than Kelce, but his case feels pretty strong.

AJ Brown

There's obviously a long way to go, but Brown's putting together one hell of a start. In only five seasons, he's put up 379 receptions for 5900 yards and 49 touchdowns. He's had over 1,000 receiving yards in four of his five seasons, has made two 2nd team All-Pros, and has gone to three Pro Bowls.

His Pro Football Reference Hall of Fame number (30.43) isn't that close to the average HoF wideout (101.54), but Brown only just turned 27. If he continues this level of production for another half-dozen or so years, there's a real case to be made for him.
