The Eagles' Regular Season Awards: A Look Back at the 2025 Campaign
The Philadelphia Eagles have wrapped up their regular season, and while some may have expected more from the defending Super Bowl champions, they still managed to secure a good spot in the NFC Wild Card game. As we reflect on the season, it's time to hand out our annual awards.
Most Valuable Player (MVP): Quinyon Mitchell
While it's rare for an MVP award to go to a defensive player, Mitchell proved himself to be one of the best overall defenders on the Eagles' team. With his lockdown ability, he dominated opposing receivers and was instrumental in the defense's success. Jimmy Kempski and Evan Macy agree with Geoff Mosher's choice, praising Mitchell's impressive performances throughout the season.
Top Breakout Performer: Jalyx Hunt
Hunt had a remarkable year, leading the defense in sacks and interceptions. His progress from training camp to the regular season was impressive, and he demonstrated his potential as a third-round pick. Geoff Mosher and Jimmy Kempski both praise Hunt's impressive stats, while Evan Macy highlights his value as a homegrown player.
Most Surprising Player: Nakobe Dean
Dean returned from injury and looked even better than before. He obliterated running backs in pass protection and was a key contributor to the Eagles' defense. However, Nick Tricome suggests that A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are also deserving of this award, as they managed to overcome early-season struggles and maintain an impressive level of performance.
Top Position Coach: Vic Fangio
Fangio's defensive coaching was instrumental in the Eagles' success this season. Despite some injuries and setbacks, he still managed to get his team playing at a high level, often shutting down opponents with ease. Nick Tricome argues that Fangio is the real difference-maker behind the Eagles' impressive defense.
Play of the Year: Jordan Davis' blocked field goal
The game-winning block by Davis against the Rams was an incredible play that showcased his unique skillset and athleticism. Jimmy Kempski and Evan Macy both agree that this was a top contender for play of the year, but Nick Tricome suggests that Jordan Carter's performance in rejecting Jared Goff was equally impressive.
Top Rookie: Jihaad Campbell
Campbell had a solid rookie season, showing promise as a linebacker despite limited playing time. Geoff Mosher thinks he's a clear choice for this award, while Jimmy Kempski praises his maturity and work ethic. Evan Macy notes that the rest of the Eagles' rookie class struggled to make an impact, making Campbell's achievement all the more impressive.
Overall, the 2025 Eagles season was one of improvement and growth, with several players emerging as key contributors. As we look ahead to the playoffs, it will be exciting to see how these players perform in the postseason.
