Who's in the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame?

As you age, you begin to appreciate things, especially the good old days, but that doesn't mean there won't be tough times. If you're old enough to remember the Philadelphia Eagles' losses in Super Bowl XXXIX and XV (we remember both), you can attest to something. Life as a Philly sports fan guarantees you a few heartbreaks.
We remember Joe Carter's home run... and Kawhi Leonard's buzzer-beater, but here's something you can hang your hat on. You could do so much worse than being a Birds fan.
Call a Cleveland Browns fan if you know one. Think about the citizens of Detroit. If that doesn't make you feel better, there probably isn't much that will.
Pick those chins up. Our squad owns three NFL Championship Game wins and a Vince Lobardi Trophy, and guess what? One of these days, we're going to win another.
The 51 names in the Eagles Hall of Fame belong to former execs, players, coaches, and two championship-winning teams.
Through more than nine decades of Eagles football, our grandmothers and grandfathers have told us about some legends. We've been fortunate to see a few ourselves. The Pro Football Hall of Fame has a few dashes of green thrown on the walls.
The Eagles Honor Roll was established in 1987. Every Bird who had already been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame was added as the inaugural class. In 2012, the Honor Roll's name was changed to the Eagles Hall of Fame.
Players can be considered for enshrinement three years after their retirement. Here are the names of everyone (and the two teams) who has been immortalized as a member.
