Could the Eagles’ Super Bowl Triumph Spark an NFL Dynasty Unlike Any Other?
This Eagles team is closer to the Chiefs than the Seahawks, though, and here’s why:
Youthful Stars
The team’s best players are all young. The average age of the Eagles’ 2024 roster was 26.1, which was the sixth-youngest in the NFL heading into the season.
Among players who saw at least 100 snaps in a season, the Eagles’ average age at key positions was mostly at or below the NFL average.
The Eagles only had seven players over the age of 30 in 2024, and only five who will turn 30 this upcoming season. The three oldest players — edge rusher Brandon Graham (36), center Lane Johnson (34) and cornerback Darius Slay (33) — could very well be replaced by younger starters. Meanwhile, DeJean literally turned 22 during the Super Bowl when he returned an interception for a touchdown.
