This article’s focus is on the greatest Philadelphia Eagles player of all time. Who do you think will be fit to be called the GOAT of the Philadelphia Eagles? Keep reading.
Who is the greatest Philadelphia Eagles player of all time?
Not only is Reggie White one of the greatest Eagles players of all time, but he is also among the greatest players in the history of the National Football League. To put it more succinctly, the man was a beast.
White was selected by the Eagles in the first round of the 1985 Supplemental Draft. In his debut season with the team, he recorded 11 sacks and hasn’t looked back since.
In point of fact, he never had a season with fewer than 11 sacks when he was playing with the Eagles.
White became known as the “Preacher of Defense” due to the fact that he was an ordained minister. That moniker is pretty cool, don’t you think?
But regardless of the monikers that have been bestowed upon him, there is little question that White is deserving of the title of “Greatest Eagle of All Time.”
White may not have been able to complete his career in Philadelphia (due to an incompetent front staff), but there is no question that he left an indelible impression on the City of Brotherly Love that will never be forgotten.
