The Philadelphia Eagles are entering quite the season in 2026. It figures to be a make or break year for some key players and coaches, but with another offensive coordinator shift and wide receiver AJ Brown no longer in the mix, the odds don't seem stellar that Philly can get back to their Super Bowl-contending ways.
But on the flip side, perhaps Sean Mannion will be precisely what the team is missing. Anyway, no one mistakes the Eagles for being a talentless team - this squad is continually among the most talented in the NFL, and it's been that way for years thanks to the sharp General Management of Howie Roseman.
That also got us thinking more long-term; which current players on the Eagles roster have the best shot at making the Hall of Fame one day? We ranked them here.
Ranking current Philadelphia Eagles who could one day make the Hall of Fame
5. Jordan Mailata
Jordan Mailata actually does not have a single individual accomplishment outside of a second-team All-Pro nod back in 2024, but he's largely seen as one of the top tackles in the NFL.
Mailata is only set to play in his age-29 season, and we have seen offensive lineman across the league, for years and years, sustain high-end success well into their 30s. For Mailata, he has the Super Bowl checked off, and it now might be time to strive for some Pro Bowls and All-Pro nods.
If he can do that in his 30s, there is an outside chance he'd make the Hall of Fame.
4. Quinyon Mitchell
In just two seasons, Quinyon Mitchell has been a Pro Bowler, first-team All-Pro, and a Super Bowl champion. He's amassed 29 passes defended and 91 total tackles in two years, but oddly does not have an interception in the regular season.
He does have four interceptions in five postseason games, which is even weirder. We're obviously 7-10 years away from a much more accurate look if Mitchell can be a Hall of Famer, but the early returns have been very notable.
Now entering his age-25 season, the conversation could be started if he continued this high level of play throughout the rest of his 20s. He has five more years before entering his age-30 season, so that would be the time to build the bulk of a Hall of Fame career.
3. Jalen Hurts
Jalen Hurts is a Super Bowl champion, Super Bowl MVP, and a three-time Pro Bowler. He also has 3,554 rushing yards, which ranks 11th all-time. Hurts isn't going to make the Hall of Fame with his passing production, as he's not that type of player, but he will have to likely double his rushing yardage total if he wants a chance.
Having that Super Bowl in his back pocket is a huge help, too. Hurts is only set to play in his age-28 season as well, so he does have time.
2. Saquon Barkley
Saquon Barkley has three Pro Bowls, an All-Pro, an Offensive Player of the Year award, and a Super Bowl title. He's now entering his age-29 season and has 8,356 rushing yards in his career. Barkley does seem to have enough individual accomplishments to potentially get into the Hall of Fame, but what might still be missing is the raw rushing total.
Barkley would absolutely need to cross the 10,000-yard mark, and if he has a bounce back year in 2026, that could come this year. Barkley currently ranks 44th all-time in rushing yards, and there aren't many running backs below him that are in the Hall.
There are also a slew of runners with 10,000+ rushing yards that aren't in the Hall, so getting to that point is a must, and if he does it, you could argue that his other accomplishments could all add up to a Hall of Fame bid.
1. Lane Johnson
Lane Johnson is widely regarded as one of the best tackles of all-time, and despite only playing two full seasons across 13 years in the league, Johnson has still amassed six Pro Bowls, two first-team All-Pros, and two Super Bowl titles.

Those accomplishments will be more than enough to get Johnson in, as he's been remarkably elite for well over a decade now, and I am just not sure if there is any reason to keep him out. He's simply an all-time great.
