Philadelphia has had an NFL team for almost 90 years. That wasnt enough time for an Eagle to get enough Brotherly Love from Sporting News to make the citys pro sports Mount Rushmore.While the 76ers (Julius Erving, Allen Iverson), Phillies (Mike Schmidt) and Flyers (Bobby Clarke) Garrett Gilbert Jersey combined to grace all four faces, the Eagles wont have an SN representative. Thats despite having 22 Pro Football Hall of Fame players and four championship teams in their long existence.Given the fiery pa sion of Phillys football fanatics, that might seem to be met with great disrespect. But the Eagles, for how many stars they had, the franchise didnt have an individual who could deliver the Rocky-like punch needed to knock out one of the other athletes.MORE: Two legendary late Eagles, running back Steve Van Buren and center/linebacker Chuck Bednarik still hold up from the 1940s, 50s and 60s. In the modern era, the best candidate was safety Brian Dawkins, the latest to get his Canton call to the Hall in 2018.Many of the teams other Hall of Famers are known for also standing out for other teams, including Terrell Owens, Reggie White and Sonny Jurgensen. Even Dawkins, after 13 fine seasons in Philadelphia, ended his career as a two-time Pro Bowler in Denver.Erving and Iverson played in different cities Chase Winovich Jersey , too, the former in a different league. But the first thing you see on them are cla sic Sixers jerseys of the past. Schmidt and Clarke were 1970s fixtures on their teams before retiring in the 1980s on those same teams.Erving, Schmidt and Clarke brought Philadelphia championships in hoops, Drew Desjarlais Jersey baseball and hockey. Iverson carried a team to the Finals.Van Buren and Bednarik each won two pre-merger championships, cro sing over as teammates on the 1949 Eagles, one of the NFLs greatest all-time teams. Dawkins led the Eagles to one NFC title and Super Bowl XXXIX appearance against Tom Bradys Patriots in 2004.MORE: While the Eagles had a 56-year championship drought from 1961 until the Philly Special rematch against the Patriots in Super Bowl LII, the other three teams brought a combined five titles. With that gap, recency bias confirmed that Van Buren and Bednarik wouldnt make the mount.Erving, Schmidt and Clarke were part of Philadelphias sports heyday together. The Eagles snuck into a Super Bowl after the 1980 season under coach Dick Vermeil, but that playoff spike was anomalous vs. the more notable Buddy Ryan and Andy Reid eras to follow.Although Dawkins would have been good representation for Reid, players such as Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook, LeSean McCoy had their own good cases from those teams offenses. Dawkins also had a little competition from other defensive stars such as Troy Vincent.When the Eagles finally lifted the Lombardi Trophy after the 2017 season, it was more ragtag with backup-QB-turned- Shaun Wade Jersey Super-Bowl-MVP Nick Foles in the middle of it all.With Erving, Schmidt and Clarke firm, Dawkins became more of a question vs. The Answer. As great as Dawkins was for a Julian Edelman Jersey long time, Iverson, as mercurial as he was in Philadelphia, has more star staying power because of his electric prime that included four NBA scoring titles.Dr. J had the signature high-flying dunks. Schmidt delivered the long-bomb home runs. Clarke racked up the goals, a sists and checks. Iversons high energy as an offensive producer was undeniable.Unfortunately for Dawkins, his defensive dominance wasnt enough to crack the top four acro s sports with so much flash and substance ahead of him. Thats no Rushmore to judgment and it doesnt diminish from the fact hes the overall best and beloved Eagle from this generation.
