Three Popular Former Eagles Named Among Senior Nominees for Pro Football Hall of Fame
The Pro Football Hall of Fame has announced the 183 players nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025 seniors category and three popular former Philadelphia Eagles made it, writes John McMullen for Sports Illustrated.
Former quarterback Ron Jaworski, former wide receiver Mike Quick, and former linebacker Seth Joyner were each named nominees hoping to make it to this year’s Hall of Fame class.
Jaworski arrived to the Eagles in 1977 after a trade from the Los Angeles Rams. From there, he played 10 years in Philadelphia, where he set numerous passing records, including career highs in completions, touchdowns, and yards.
In 1980, he led the Eagles to their first NFC title game and first Super Bowl appearance against the then-Oakland Raiders.
Quick is a five-time Pro Bowler with the Eagles, and ranks among the franchise leaders in catches, yards, and touchdowns.
Since retiring, he has remained a fixture in Philadelphia as an Eagles radio color commentator.
Joyner played 8 seasons with the Eagles. In 1991, he was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year by Sports Illustrated. He is the only player in Eagles history to record at least 35 sacks and 15 interceptions, and is one of only two with 20 forced fumbles.
