The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the NFL's proudest and longest-standing franchises. Going into the league's 100th season, that status has been stamped by having 22 representatives in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
In 2018, both safety Brian Dawkins and wide receiver Terrell Owens got inducted. The Eagles' current roster is full of strong Hall of Fame candidates hoping to join them. Here are those players' chances of getting the call from Canton, five or more years after they retire:
1. Jason Peters, left tackle (100 percent)
Peters was traded from the Bills to the Eagles in his prime. Now 37, he has enjoyed nine Pro Bowl seasons with spots on six All-Pro teams. He has put up enough stellar blindside pass-protecting play to lock him in.
2. Jason Kelce, center (100 percent).
He's been a rock in the middle of their strong offensive line and is seemingly getting better and more durable, now at 31. Wouldn’t it be wild if the brothers Kelce went in together? He does have a couple of years on Travis, though, so there's a good chance Jason will deservedly get in a little earlier.
3. Zach Ertz (90 percent).
While his wife Julie is immortalized as a World Cup champion, Zach is headed to the ultimate individual honor in the "other" football. He has been a receptions machine over the past four years and is hitting his best play at 28. A couple more prolific seasons will cement the status.
4. Fletcher Cox (80 percent)
Cox has been crushing it as an inside pass rusher, with 44.5 sacks in seven years. He’s only 28 coming off four straight Pro Bowls, so his prime time should seal the deal, too.

5. Malcolm Jenkins (40 percent)
After getting his feet wet as a Saints cornerback early, he has rolled to his best play as an Eagles safety with three Pro Bowls in five seasons. He is 31, however, and is more in the “very good” territory, despite the bonus points he can get as a beloved leader on and off the field.
6. DeSean Jackson (30 percent)
Jackson might be the fastest receiver of the past two decades and his per-catch averages show unprecedented big-play flash. His lack of consistency and substance, however, hurt over his three-team career. He has only three sporadic Pro Bowl nods to his credit.
7. Brandon Graham (20 percent)
It is kind of shocking that he has no All-Pro or Pro Bowl credentials despite his critical versatile role in their defensive line. At 31, he will have a hard time building an attention-getting case.
8. Carson Wentz (20 percent)
Wentz was in MVP form during the Eagles’ Super Bowl 52 run so the Cantonese ceiling is there. With a new big contract, the key is a lot better health going forward to stay up to that potential.
9. Alshon Jeffery (10 percent)
He made his lone Pro Bowl in Chicago and injuries have limited him to two 1,000-yard seasons out of seven. At 29, he most likely has to make up too much production.
