Eagles Players Are Hiding in Plain Sight This Season: A Surprising Look at Pro Bowler Potential.
With the Eagles' team performance underwhelming this season, one question on everyone's mind is whether any individual players are putting together standout campaigns that warrant a Pro Bowl nod. Our examination of the roster reveals some surprising hidden gems who could be making a case for themselves in the All-Star Game.
Quinyon Mitchell and Zack Baun: The Unlikely Duo
Cornerback Quinyon Mitchell has been nearly unguardable this season, with 14 passes defended, tied for the most in the NFC. Meanwhile, linebacker Zack Baun is having a breakout year, with 96 tackles, three sacks, an interception, and six tackles for loss. These two players are the clear frontrunners to return to the Pro Bowl from last season.
The Bubbly Ones: DeVonta Smith and Jaelan Phillips
Wide receiver DeVonta Smith has been the Eagles' most productive receiver through 10 games, with 802 yards and 11th place in the NFL. If he can reach 1,200 yards and score a few more touchdowns, he could be a shoo-in for the Pro Bowl. Edge rusher Jaelan Phillips is another player who's been making waves this season, with 17 quarterback hurries and six sacks.
The Long Shot: Braden Mann
Punter Braden Mann has been one of the most consistent players in the Eagles' defense all season, averaging an impressive 50.1 yards per punt. If he can keep up his numbers, he'll be a serious contender for the Pro Bowl.
A December Breakout?
Quarterback Jalen Hurts is having a quietly respectable season, with a quarterback rating of 103.9 and five touchdowns in the last two weeks combined. If he can continue to play at this level, he could make a strong case for himself in the Pro Bowl. Wide receiver A.J. Brown has also been on fire lately, leading the NFL in yards and receptions over the past two weeks.
Other Players Worth Watching
Tight end Dallas Goedert needs to return to his early-season form if he wants to join the Pro Bowl squad. Defensive tackle Moro Ojomo is quietly having a breakout year, ranking 17th best among defensive tackles according to PFF. The emergence of these players will be key in determining which Eagles players make it to the All-Star Game this season.

. Mitchell is just so clutch and has been making some insane plays on the field this season 
. And Baun? Forget about it, he's like a force to be reckoned with! 96 tackles already? That's crazy talk! 
. If he can keep it up, I'm totally voting for him to make the Pro Bowl too 
.
. And Jalen Hurts? Quietly making some magic happen behind center 
. Not to mention A.J. Brown's on fire lately 
!
. But seriously, Quinyon Mitchell is looking like a total baller, and Zack Baun's stats are straight fire 
. I'm also loving Braden Mann's punting skills - 50.1 yards per punt is no joke 
. It'll be interesting to see if Jalen Hurts can keep up his form and make a case for himself in the Pro Bowl... fingers crossed 
!
. People are so hyped about DeVonta Smith, but Mitchell's been doing some insane stuff on defense 
, but we need to see him get more recognition from the media and fans alike. DeVonta Smith is already looking like a Pro Bowl lock in my book 
. Meanwhile, DeVonta Smith's consistency is amazing, and he's definitely having a breakout season 
! I'm also intrigued by A.J. Brown's recent form – has anyone noticed how suddenly clutch he's becoming? 
Jalen Hurts' quietly respectable season has me wondering if the Eagles are sleepwalking to a decent playoff run... fingers crossed! 
They're low-key destroying defenses on every play! 
50.1 yards per punt? That's like magic! 
You're like a football player with an identity crisis...
. But Quinyon Mitchell and Zack Baun are actually kinda surprising as underdogs? And DeVonta Smith has been on fire, who knew? 
. Braden Mann as a Pro Bowler though? That's some underdog spirit right there 
. The thing is, if Jalen Hurts can keep this up, it might be a good year after all... fingers crossed 
, and if DeVonta Smith can just keep it up, he's gonna be a Pro Bowl lock for sure 
. And let's not forget A.J. Brown - dude's on fire! 
Their stats are pretty hard to ignore, you know? And what's with the "long shot" label for Braden Mann? 50.1 yards per punt is no joke! 
50.1 yards per punt from braden mann? game changer, tbh 
Players like Quinyon Mitchell and Zack Baun are making cases for themselves with incredible performances, but they're not getting enough attention. I think this is a great reminder that everyone has value to bring to the table, even if it's not in the most obvious way 
. He needs to keep it up if he wants that Pro Bowl spot, but I think he's got the talent to make it happen. Jaelan Phillips is also an underrated player - all those quarterback hurries and sacks are no joke 
.
. If he keeps it up, I think he'll be right in the mix for that Pro Bowl nod.
... I mean, what's up with all these players suddenly putting together amazing seasons? It's like they're trying to distract us from the system, you know?
