Pro Football Focus' Top 101 players list from the 2024 NFL season is here and 11 Philadelphia Eagles made the cut. 

For those who are unfamiliar with PFF's Top 101, it's the annual list that they put together at the end of each season to acknowledge the best of the best. 

To put things into perspective, there are 1,696 active players in the NFL in a given season. So, anytime a player makes this list, it's something worth talking about. 

Below is who made the list from Philly. 

11 Eagles Crack PFF's Top 101 Players List

3. OT Jordan Mailata

10. RB Saquon Barkley

11. LB Zack Baun

18. OT Lane Johnson

30. WR A.J. Brown

45. CB Cooper DeJean

64. G Landon Dickerson

77. DT Jalen Carter

78. CB Quinyon Mitchell

90. DT Milton Williams

91. QB Jalen Hurts

It's awesome to see newcomers like linebacker Zack Baun, running back Saquon Barkley, and rookie cornerbacks Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchel on the list. 

Meanwhile, left tackle Jordan Mailata, left guard Landon Dickerson, wide receiver A.J. Brown and quarterback Jalen Hurts cracked the list again after making after landing on it last year. 

What isn't so cool, however, is how low quarterback Hurts is ranked. 

Sure, the Eagles were a run-heavy offense in 2024 but they would not have made it to the Super Bowl if it weren't for Hurts' accuracy and him making those necessary throws or picking up yards on the ground when he needed to. 

They even noted Hurts' duel-threat abilities in what they had to say about him. 

"Hurts may have finished the regular season as just the NFL’s 21st-highest-graded quarterback, but he would not be denied in the playoffs, making his inclusion on this list a must. During the Eagles’ run to becoming Super Bowl 59 champs, the dynamic signal-caller clocked an 87.2 PFF overall grade — second to only Lamar Jackson — highlighted by his postseason-leading 93.8 clean pocket passing grade."

That said, it's okay to take the actual PFF rankings with a grain of salt. 

What matters most is that Hurts and the Eagles are Super Bowl 59 champions.
