Jordan Davis Is Dominating in 2025 - And It’s Not Even Close
When the Eagles drafted Jordan Davis 13th overall in 2022, the vision was clear: a game-wrecking interior presence who could anchor the line and collapse pockets with sheer force. But through his first couple of seasons, that vision felt more like a work in progress than a finished product. Some fans questioned the pick, others defended the dirty work he was doing in the trenches, and the debates about his conditioning never seemed to go away.
Fast forward to 2025, and there’s no more debate. Jordan Davis isn’t just living up to expectations - he’s blowing them out of the water.
Right now, he’s been the best player on the Philadelphia Eagles. And honestly, it’s not particularly close.
Slimmer Frame, Bigger Impact
Davis entered the season looking noticeably leaner. That’s a relative term, of course - he’s still a towering 6-foot-6, 336-pound force of nature - but the difference is in how he moves.
The added quickness and stamina have turned him from a rotational run-stuffer into a full-blown defensive weapon. And with Milton Williams no longer in the picture and Jalen Carter missing time throughout the year, Davis hasn’t just stepped up - he’s taken over.
He’s played more snaps, taken on more responsibility, and delivered with the kind of dominance that’s impossible to ignore.
The Signature Moment
Every breakout season needs a defining play, and Davis gave us one against the Rams. After blocking a field goal attempt, he scooped up the loose ball and rumbled all the way to the end zone.
That play - a 300-plus-pound defensive tackle blocking a kick and scoring the game-winner - was more than just a highlight. It was a statement: Jordan Davis isn’t just doing the dirty work anymore.
He’s changing games.
Disruption by Design
The numbers back it up. Davis already has career highs in sacks (4.5) and tackles for loss (9), and those aren’t just empty stats.
These are drive-killing, momentum-shifting plays. He’s blowing up run schemes, collapsing pockets, and forcing offenses to account for him on every snap.
And he’s doing it with a rare blend of power and explosiveness.
If Jalen Carter has drawn comparisons to Jerome Brown, then Davis this season has looked like Jerome Brown in an Iron Man suit. He’s quicker off the snap, stronger at the point of attack, and more relentless in pursuit. Plays don’t just end when Davis gets involved - they get erased.
The Steady Star on a Shaky Team
This hasn’t been a smooth ride for the Eagles. The offense has had its ups and downs, and injuries have hit the defense at key spots.
But through it all, Davis has been the rock. He’s been the most consistent force on a defensive unit that’s still among the league’s best, even with the attrition.
And that consistency matters. On a team searching for rhythm, Davis has brought it every week. He’s not just showing flashes - he’s setting the tone.
All-Pro Caliber
At this point, it’s not just about being the best player on the Eagles. Jordan Davis deserves serious All-Pro consideration.
He’s been one of the most dominant interior defenders in the league this season, full stop. His impact goes beyond the stat sheet - it’s in the way he controls the line of scrimmage, disrupts game plans, and makes everyone around him better.
The Eagles bet big on Davis in 2022. Three years later, that bet is paying off in a big way.
He’s not just a foundational piece of the defense - he’s become the heartbeat of it. And if he keeps playing like this, he’s going to be in the conversation as one of the best defensive tackles in football, not just this year, but for years to come.
