For Philadelphia Eagles fans, Sunday's Super Bowl LX will bring a mix of excitement and bittersweet nostalgia as the team battles it out for another championship title. Even though Philly may not be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy this time around, several former Birds players have a shot at securing their first or second Super Bowl ring.
One player who has already experienced back-to-back championships is Idonijah "iDL" Milton Williams, an Eagle from 2021 to present. The pass rusher signed with New England and will look to join a select group of NFL players to win two consecutive Super Bowls with different teams.
Mack Hollins, another former Eagle, won his first ring in 2017 before joining the Patriots this year. A solid role player over the past few seasons, Hollins would earn his second championship with New England on Sunday.
The Eagles' defense has been bolstered by the arrival of Christian Elliss, a linebacker who played for the team from 2022 to present. After a stint on the practice squad and being waived in November, Elliss re-signed with the Patriots, where he's become a starter.
Meanwhile, Patrick Johnson, an edge rusher picked up by the Eagles in 2021, got cut mid-season but was picked up again by New England after a brief stint with the Giants. He'll look to secure his first playoff appearance and potentially snag his first Super Bowl ring on Sunday.
On the other side of the field, Josh Jobe has turned his career around with the Seahawks. A former undrafted Eagle in 2022, Jobe's size and athleticism made him an attractive prospect for the Seahawks' defense. By November, he was promoted to the active roster and started six games, solidifying himself as a starter.
Brady Russell, the Seahawks' fullback since last year, has been used sparingly this season but should see more playing time as OC Klint Kubiak adjusts his game plan.
Other former Eagles who are part of the Seattle contingent include Maxen Hook, an undrafted rookie tight end who signed with the Patriots' practice squad in 2025; Tyler Hall, an undrafted CB out of Wyoming who bounced around six different teams before joining the Seahawks' practice squad; and Leslie Frazier, the Eagles' former assistant head coach.

. Like, what's next? People gonna be talking about some random tight end from Philly signing with New England just to get more playing time? 
I mean, I love a good underdog story as much as the next guy, but come on. It's all just a marketing ploy, if you ask me. And don't even get me started on the fact that these players are just gonna show up at the Super Bowl and expect to be heroes overnight 
. I swear, it's like everyone forgets that there's actual football being played in front of their eyes. And what about all the other guys who aren't even making the playoffs? 
... I mean, it's awesome that some ex-Eagles players are doing so well elsewhere, but you can't help feeling like they're on the outside looking in 
. Idonijah "iDL" Milton Williams is def a legend already with back-to-back rings under his belt 
! And Mack Hollins just won another one! 
As for Patrick Johnson and Josh Jobe, I think they deserve some love too... they've come so far from their time on the practice squad 
. But I guess you could say this is just a weird year for Eagles fans? 
. But at the same time, you got guys like Mack Hollins who had to start over and win his first ring just to get another chance 
.
. It's like the old saying goes, 'you can't choose your team, but you can choose how you respond' 
. That's what I call player development at its finest! And Brady Russell getting more playing time, that's some great OC work 
.
. The Patriots and Eagles are clearly doing something right, while the Seahawks are trying to find their groove 
. Who will come out on top? Only time will tell 
.
those seahawks D is way too stacked for him to make an impact. maxen hook? dude was just a practice squad guy, who cares what team he's on now 
josh jobe's career turnaround story is def inspiring tho, he went from practice squad 2 starter 
. Idonijah Milton Williams is already living that two-peat life 
, so I got love for him. Mack Hollins' journey is pretty inspiring too - who wouldn't want to win another championship with the Patriots? 
. It's like they're fighting a part of themselves out there on the field 
. Still, I got faith in these players to bring home some hardware for their new teams - and maybe even make us Eagles fans proud in the process 
. The Seahawks' defense has some talented guys too, especially Josh Jobe who's come out of nowhere to become a starter 
! Whatever happens on Sunday, it's all about these players making their dreams come true and giving it their all

Mack Hollins gettin' his second ring with Pats is sick too 
And I'm glad Josh Jobe turned his career around, he deserves it 
. I'm hyped for Patrick Johnson too, he's been through some ups and downs, but he's still grindin' 
. Go Pats...I mean, go Eagles! 
josh jobe's career turnaround with the seahawks is awesome, dude went from undrafted to starter in just one season 
. And Brady Russell is due for some serious playing time, I'm rooting for him 
.
. As someone who's all about the format, I love how this article is structured - clear sections, easy-to-read font... it's like a work of art
