With only one Super Bowl victory under their belt and a plethora of quality alumni in their all-time roster, the Philadelhpia Eagles have some rather questionable choices for their all-time greatest player in history. While Chuck Bednarik did play a total of forteen seasons with the Eagles, he wasn't nearly as successful as defensive end Reggie White who only spent eight years with the franchise. At 300lbs, White was one the most nimble and spry defensive ends of his time. Also, don't sleep on his strength too, he will bull-rush you right into your quarterback with ease.
After winning SEC Player of the Year honors in his final year at the University of Tennessee, Reggie White was selected 4th overall in the 1984 Supplemental Draft by the USFL's Memphis Showboats. Once the USFL collasped, White signed a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles where played eight seasons with team racking up 124 sacks in the 121 games he played with the franchise. During his tenure with the Eagles, White became the only player in NFL history to notch 20 or more sacks in just 12 games. The 13x Pro Bowler would never win a ring with the Eagles, but would find success with the Green Packers winning Super Bowl XXXI.
