Former All-Pro linebacker Jeremiah Trotter and longtime play-by-play announcer Merrill Reese will be inducted into the Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame on November 28, when the team hosts the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football. Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie made the announcement at tonight’s Taking Flight for Autism event at Lincoln Financial Field.
Trotter played eight of his 11 NFL seasons with Philadelphia (1998-2001, 2004-06, 2009), earning two All-Pro selections and four Pro Bowl nods over three stints in midnight green. Nicknamed the “Axe Man,” Trotter is one of only four linebackers in franchise history to produce at least four Pro Bowl seasons, joining fellow Eagles Hall of Fame members Chuck Bednarik, Maxie Baughan and Bill Bergey.
