Philadelphia Eagles fans wait hours outside Pro Shop for Super Bowl merchandise
There is no better way to celebrate the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl victory than wearing the brand-new championship merchandise, and some fans waited for hours to get their hands on the super swag.
It didn't matter how cold it was or how long it took, the second the doors opened, Eagles fans swarmed the Pro Shop at Lincoln Financial Field to get Super Bowl champion hats and T-shirts on one of the sweetest "Victory Mondays" of all time.
The Nevins family — Paige, Ed and little Eddie — were among the crowd. For them, as for many Birds fans, Sunday's win is about so much more than sport. The Eagles' wins and losses are weaved into family memories and milestones.
"Just unbelievably excited. We won our first Super Bowl before we got married and then of course when he's [Eddie] getting ready to turn 4, we got our second. Unbelievably excited," Paige Nevins said.
Peaches Napier of North Philadelphia is recovering from knee surgery, but that didn't stop her from picking up championship gear for the people she loves.
"I know they're going to jump for joy because we were on that phone last night every time a touchdown went down. Woo! Thank you, Lord," Napier said.
Like many fans, Sterling Brown was running on very little sleep but that didn't matter — he says he slept like a baby.
"I slept good last night believe it or not, I haven't slept good the last two weeks but I slept good last night." Brown said he was gearing up for Friday's parade as were so many others who enjoyed the joyous start to a week that is set to end with the best party Philadelphia can possibly throw.

PFF: What do the Bills still need to 'think about' during the 2025 NFL offseason?
The Buffalo Bills front office has geared up the team for another run at a Super Bowl in 2025 but Pro Football Focus is not convinced all the work is done just yet. The football analytics outlet broke down one item each NFL team still needs to "think about" this offseason. For Buffalo, it relates to linebacker Matt Milano. Milano has undoubtedly been one of the best players at his position in football during his career but the issue that has popped up for him is his health. Because of that, Milano and the Bills reworked his contract this offseason and he's in the final year of his deal in 2025. What PFF thinks the team needs to keep in mind moving forward is the status of Milano's future... but none of that can be determined until next season begins. PFF's breakdown on Milano can be found below: Milano is entering the final year of his contract, though there are two void years attached that the Bills could convert if he wants to keep playing. But if this is his last year in Buffalo, how does the team feel about the rest of the linebacker group? Terrel Bernard struggled last season on his way to a 48.2 PFF overall grade, ranking 83rd among 90 linebackers, but the Bills signed him to a four-year extension this offseason, so he's not going anywhere. Dorian Williams wasn't much better (58.2) and is now halfway through his rookie deal. Could Buffalo look to make a big splash at linebacker in the 2026 NFL Draft?

Falcons miss out on All-Pro wide receiver Julio Jones in 2011 NFL redraft
Pro Football Focus' 2011 NFL redraft sees Falcons miss out on All-Pro wide receiver Two moves have really defined the Atlanta Falcons over the last two decades. The first move was selecting Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan with the third overall pick in the 2008 NFL draft. Three years later, the Falcons traded up to the sixth overall pick in the 2011 draft to select Alabama wide receiver Julio Jones. Ryan and Jones formed one of the most dynamic duos in NFL history. Both players retired as Atlanta's franchise statistical leaders at their respective positions. Jones is a lock for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, while Ryan has a decent chance to be voted into the league's most exclusive club. But what would have happened if the Falcons never drafted Jones? In Pro Football Focus' 2011 NFL redraft, the seven-time Pro Bowl wide receiver didn't even make it out of the top five. So instead of adding the most productive receiver in franchise history, the Falcons stayed at pick No. 27 and drafted cornerback Jimmy Smith. Smith's size and man-to-man ability were valuable assets during his 11-year career in Baltimore. He recorded an 81.5 PFF coverage grade and hauled in 14 regular-season interceptions and one postseason pick across that span. Smith also played very well on a small workload in Super Bowl 47, forcing two incompletions and earning a 92.7 PFF coverage grade. -- PFF's Max Chadwick, Dalton Wasserman and Trevor Sikkema Smith spent his entire career in Baltimore, and despite not making a Pro Bowl, he was a dependable starter that helped the Ravens secure the Super Bowl in 2013. The former Colorado defensive back appeared in 128 games (90 starts), recording 14 interceptions and 74 passes defended. The 2011 redraft saw Jones selected by the Cincinnati Bengals with the fourth overall pick. The Bengals originally took wide receiver A.J. Green at this spot, but PFF felt Jones was the better player throughout his NFL career. There was a big debate heading into the 2011 NFL Draft over whether A.J. Green or Julio Jones was the top wide receiver prospect. The Bengals ultimately picked Green, who went on to have an excellent career in Cincinnati. However, Jones ended up being the better player. The two-time first-team All-Pro recorded a career 94.7 PFF overall grade and was the second-most-valuable receiver across his 13 seasons, according to PFF WAR. -- PFF's Max Chadwick, Dalton Wasserman and Trevor Sikkema The Falcons still landed a quality player in PFF's redraft scenario, however, it's hard to imagine Ryan ever reaching his MVP potential without Jones as his top weapon. While Atlanta didn't capture the Super Bowl, the team got as close as humanly possible during the 2016 NFL season. As the team prepares for the 2025 season, a new duo has emerged. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and wide receiver Drake London will look to get the Falcons back to the playoffs for the first time since Ryan and Jones departed.

Eagles Represented on NFL All-Quarter Century Team
Eagles Represented on NFL All-Quarter Century Team originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Over the last few days, much debate has followed ESPN's All Quarter Century Team list. To join the fun, let's examine what the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles would look like if we ran a similar exercise. Advertisement Since 2000, the Eagles have won two championships, been to four Super Bowls, reached the conference title game eight times, and have fielded some of the best players. Did some of those players make our Quarter Century list? Time to find out. QB: Jalen Hurts Donovan McNabb or Nick Foles could be here, but no one has won like Jalen Hurts in franchise history. It really is that simple. RB: LeSean McCoy Saquon Barkley and Brian Westbrook have all had their moments, but McCoy was elite for a longer period and deserves to be on this list since he's the franchise's all-time leading rusher. WR: A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith Alshon Jeffrey, Terrell Owens, and DeSean Jackson could all be on this list. Ultimately, the Eagles have never, and will never see a receiving duo like they have now with Brown and Smith. Advertisement TE: Zach Ertz Fans love Brent Celek and Dallas Goedert, but Ertz is the organization's best tight end in history. His game-winning touchdown in Super Bowl LII only seals it. OT: Jason Peters, Lane Johnson There are plenty of elite offensive linemen in Eagles history over the last 25 years, but Peters and Johnson are easy picks for the Hall-of-Fame when both eventually retire. They belong on this list. OG: Todd Herremans, Brandon Brooks This was tough because Philadelphia has had some incredible guard play over the years. Ultimately, Herremans' consistency and Brooks' dominance won out. C: Jason Kelce There were two "no brainer" picks on this list. One of them has yet to be announced. The other is Jason Kelce. Six-time All-Pro and a future bust in Canton, Ohio. Advertisement Enough said. EDGE: Trent Cole, Brandon Graham How about picking the second and third players on the all-time sack list in Eagles history? Cole and Graham are beloved in the city and deservedly so. DT: Fletcher Cox, Corey Simon People forget how good Simon was along the interior of their defense. While Jalen Carter may be on this list eventually, Simon will share the spot with the All-Pro and borderline Hall-of-Fame star Fletcher Cox. LB: Jeremiah Trotter, DeMeco Ryans Trotter is an easy pick. He was an All-Pro during his time in Philly. Finding his other linebacker, though, is a bit more tricky. In the end, Ryans beats out the likes of Zack Baun and Nigel Bradham because he was a great player over a longer if it was only for a few seasons. Advertisement CB: Darius Slay, Lito Sheppard Slay will go down as one of the best corners in Eagles history because he was both a lockdown player and a ballhawk. Speaking of ballhawk's Sheppard beats out Sheldon Brown because of his game-winning pick-sixes during the 2000s. S: Brian Dawkins, Malcolm Jenkins Here are the no-brainers. During their win in Super Bowl LII, Jenkins was Philadelphia's heartbeat on defense. Dawkins can be seen as the greatest Eagle of all. There won't be another safety tandem like this ever again. K: Jake Elliott Between Elliott and David Akers, the edge has to go to Elliott. While he didn't have the best season last year, he has been one of the more clutch kickers in the sport - especially come playoff time. Advertisement P: Donnie Jones Jones was a very good punter during the team's Super Bowl season. There aren't many others on this list to go over. Returner: DeSean Jackson There won't be a returner in Eagles history quite like DeSean Jackson. Jackson is Philadelphia's greatest returner from the Miracle of the Meadowlands II., or his All-Pro season in 2009.
