Eagles’ Pro Bowl Hopefuls: Amid Team Struggles, Individual Talent Still Shines
Through 12 games in the 2025 season, the Philadelphia Eagles haven’t looked like the dominant force fans expected. The team’s overall inconsistency has been hard to ignore - especially for a squad that was just recently in Super Bowl form. But even in a season that’s fallen short of championship standards so far, there are still individual performances worth spotlighting.
Let’s break down which Eagles players are making legitimate Pro Bowl cases, who’s on the bubble, and who could force their way into the conversation with a strong December finish.
Lock Them In: Pro Bowl-Level Seasons So Far
Quinyon Mitchell, CB
If there’s one Eagle who’s playing like a top-tier star right now, it’s Quinyon Mitchell.
The second-year corner has been nothing short of elite on the outside. He leads the NFC with 14 passes defended, and quarterbacks are completing just 44% of their throws when targeting him - tied for the best mark in the conference with Carolina’s Jaycee Horn, despite Mitchell facing 25 more attempts.
That’s not just good coverage - that’s lockdown territory. In a year where the Eagles’ defense has been up and down, Mitchell has been a steady, high-impact presence.
Zack Baun, LB
Baun has quietly pieced together a strong season - and with 10 linebackers selected to the Pro Bowl from each conference, his numbers put him firmly in the mix.
Through 12 games, he’s sixth in the NFC in tackles (96), with three sacks, an interception, a forced fumble, and six tackles for loss. He’s not just racking up stats - he’s making plays that matter.
Among last year’s Eagles Pro Bowlers, Baun looks like the best bet to return.
On the Bubble: Right There, But Need a Strong Finish
DeVonta Smith, WR
Smith was the Eagles’ most consistent wideout through the first 10 games, before A.J.
Brown came roaring back into form. Smith currently ranks 11th in the NFL in receiving yards and eighth among NFC receivers - solid numbers, but with only four wideouts making the initial Pro Bowl cut per conference, the bar is high.
If Smith can push toward 1,200 yards and tack on a few more touchdowns, he’ll have a real shot.
Jaelan Phillips, EDGE
Since arriving via trade before the deadline, Phillips has been a difference-maker.
His sack total (4.0) might not jump off the page, but don’t let that fool you - no player in the league has more quarterback hurries (17), and he ranks sixth in the NFC in total pressures. The tape backs it up: Phillips is disrupting offenses and winning his matchups.
If he keeps this pace, he’s got a legitimate case for Pro Bowl honors - and maybe a long-term future in Philly.
Braden Mann, P
It’s been that kind of season - when your punter is in the Pro Bowl conversation, you know the offense has had its share of struggles.
But Mann’s done his job and done it well. The Eagles have punted the third-most times in the NFL this year, and Mann’s 50.1-yard average ranks third in the NFC.
He also leads the conference in total net yards. That’s consistency and leg strength that could earn him a nod.
Could Make a Late Push: December Will Decide
Jalen Hurts, QB
Hurts hasn’t looked like the MVP-caliber quarterback we saw last season, but his numbers aren’t as far off as some might think.
He’s been steady, if not spectacular, and if he can put together a strong final five games, he could sneak into the Pro Bowl picture. He’s still capable of putting the team on his back - and if he does, the voters will notice.
A.J. Brown, WR
Brown has caught fire in recent weeks, leading the league in both receptions and receiving yards over the past two games. He’s currently tied for 11th in touchdowns with six - and if he keeps this surge going, he’ll have a compelling case.
The talent is undeniable, and if the production continues, Brown could find himself back in the Pro Bowl mix.
Dallas Goedert, TE
Goedert’s season has been a tale of two halves.
From Weeks 1 through 8, he was one of the most productive tight ends in football - ranking as the fantasy TE3 with 30 catches, 289 yards, and 7 touchdowns. But since then, the production has cratered: just 10 catches for 114 yards and no scores from Weeks 9 through 14.
If he can rediscover that early-season rhythm, he could challenge for one of the two NFC tight end spots.
Moro Ojomo, DT
While big names like Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis have struggled to find consistency, it’s been Moro Ojomo quietly emerging as the most effective interior lineman on the Eagles’ roster.
According to Pro Football Focus, Ojomo is the 17th highest-graded defensive tackle in the league this season - and 9th-best in the NFC. His pass rush win rate (12%) ranks second in the conference.
If he closes the season strong, he could surprise people with a Pro Bowl selection.
Final Thoughts
This hasn’t been the season the Eagles envisioned, but that doesn’t mean there’s a lack of talent in the building. Quinyon Mitchell and Zack Baun have played at a Pro Bowl level all year.
DeVonta Smith, Jaelan Phillips, and Braden Mann are right there. And guys like Hurts, Brown, Goedert, and Ojomo have a chance to change the narrative in December.
The team might not be flying as high as it did in 2022 or 2023, but individual excellence still matters - and a few more standout performances down the stretch could turn a disappointing season into one that still sends a few Eagles to the league’s biggest stage in February.
