The 2023 season will mark the second year that James Bradberry will don the number 24 jersey for the Philadelphia Eagles. Year one gave us some nice memories, a controversial holding call in football's biggest game, and an All-Pro season. He's back in 2023, and the hope is he'll play at a high level for years to come. On March 15th, he signed a three-year, $38 million contract extension.
Bradberry has a chance to be remembered as one of the better players to rock the number 24 jersey. Prior to his tenure, 30 Eagles wore the number 24 jersey before he did. 18 did so for only one year. 18 players that preceded James' tenure have been defensive backs like he is.
