Philadelphia Eagles Expected To Produce Multiple NFL MVP Candidates In 2025

The Philadelphia Eagles, fresh off a Super Bowl win, are poised for another strong season with multiple players emerging as potential NFL MVP candidates. Edge rusher Nolan Smith, despite a triceps injury, showed promise in 2024 with a high rate of quality sacks, ranking among the league's elite pass rushers and potentially key to the Eagles' defense. Quarterback Jalen Hurts, the reigning Super Bowl MVP, and running back Saquon Barkley are considered dark horse MVP contenders due to their significant contributions, though Hurts' reliance on the 'tush push' rushing touchdowns may impact voter perception. Analysts note that Hurts' strong supporting cast may have limited his MVP consideration last season, but improvements in his passing touchdowns could enhance his chances. Barkley stands out as a rare non-quarterback candidate, with past MVP winners mostly being quarterbacks, and could lead the team if Hurts misses time. Overall, the Eagles' balanced roster and star talent position them as top contenders for both team and individual honors in 2025.
