The Philadelphia Eagles are sending five players to the Pro Bowl this season, and while that’s no small accomplishment, it’s hard not to feel like the roster should’ve been even more crowded with midnight green.
Four of the Eagles’ Pro Bowlers come from the defensive side of the ball: rookie cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, linebacker Zack Baun, and rising star defensive tackle Jalen Carter. On offense, center Cam Jurgens earned the lone nod. All five have had standout seasons and deserve the recognition - but there are some names missing that raise eyebrows.
Let’s talk about the snubs. Because there are four Eagles who have every reason to feel slighted right now - and their cases are strong.
Jordan Davis - DT
If there’s one omission that stands out above the rest, it’s Jordan Davis. The third-year defensive tackle has been a force in the trenches all season long. His stat line is impressive: 65 tackles, nine tackles for loss, eight pressures, six batted passes, six quarterback hits, 4.5 sacks, a blocked field goal, and even a blocked kick returned for a touchdown - all in just 15 games.
Davis has quietly become one of the most reliable pieces in Philly’s front seven. While Jalen Carter gets the headlines - and he’s certainly earned his Pro Bowl spot - Davis has arguably been the more consistent presence.
He’s anchoring the middle, swallowing up double teams, and still producing at a high level. If you’re looking for a complete defensive tackle who shows up every week, Davis checks all the boxes.
This one feels like a miss.
Lane Johnson - RT
It’s hard to understand how Lane Johnson didn’t make the cut. The veteran right tackle is having one of the best seasons of his career, even with some time missed due to injury. But when he’s been on the field, he’s been dominant.
Johnson hasn’t allowed a single sack or quarterback hit all season, and he’s only given up seven pressures total. That’s elite-level protection in a league where edge rushers are faster and more disruptive than ever.
For context, Cam Jurgens made the Pro Bowl on the offensive line - and while Jurgens has had a solid year, Johnson’s performance has been on another level. This isn’t just a snub; it’s a head-scratcher.
Moro Ojomo - DT
Here’s a name that might surprise some casual fans, but it shouldn’t. Moro Ojomo has quietly emerged as one of the Eagles’ most productive pass rushers. He leads the team in sacks and has been a consistent disruptor in opposing backfields.
Ojomo’s numbers speak for themselves: 34 tackles, 18 pressures, 10 quarterback hits, five tackles for loss, five sacks, and a pass deflection. He’s not just cleaning up plays - he’s creating chaos at the line of scrimmage.
On a defensive line loaded with talent, Ojomo has carved out his own spotlight. If the Pro Bowl is about rewarding impact, Ojomo made a strong case to be there.
Jordan Mailata - LT
Another year, another Pro Bowl snub for Jordan Mailata. The big man on the left side of the Eagles’ line continues to be one of the most dependable tackles in the league. According to Pro Football Focus, Mailata ranks as the eighth-best offensive tackle in the NFL this season, with an overall grade of 82.3.
He’s allowed just four quarterback hits and two sacks all year - numbers that put him in elite territory. Mailata’s size and athleticism are well-known, but what’s really stood out this season is his consistency.
Week in and week out, he’s been a wall protecting the blind side. It’s the kind of performance that usually earns a Pro Bowl nod.
This time, it didn’t.
So yes, five Eagles are heading to the Pro Bowl - and they’ve earned it. But this team is deeper than that.
Jordan Davis, Lane Johnson, Moro Ojomo, and Jordan Mailata have all played at a Pro Bowl level this season. Their absence from the roster says more about the challenges of the selection process than it does about their play.
Philly fans know what they’ve got. And if the Eagles make a deep postseason run, these snubs might just become motivation fuel.
