Eagles defense looking for quantity over star power in 2024

The Eagles have a lot of stars. Good teams usually do, and the Birds are no exception.

Star power in the NFL usually comes from the offensive side of the ball. The guys we talk most about are quarterbacks, wide receivers, running backs and even the odd Hall of Fame, ubiquitous center.

On offense, Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, Devonta Smith, Lane Johnson and Saquon Barkley get all the press. They make the splash plays, score the touchdowns, and get to preen and celebrate in the end zone. They do most of the post-game interviews, appear on talk shows and get the commercial deals.
