The Philadelphia Eagles had an impressive season last year, with a record of 14-3. This time around, they may not have replicated that performance in the standings, but they still managed to have an impact on the Associated Press’s 2023 NFL All-Pro team. The results of this prestigious accolade were decided by a national panel of 50 media members.

This year, the Eagles had star center Jason Kelce named a first-team All-Pro for the sixth time in his illustrious 13-year career. His achievement also saw him equal the number of first-team All-Pro selections held by Eagles legends Chuck Bednarik and Reggie White, marking a significant milestone in the franchise’s history.
