Jeremiah Trotter, Merrill Reese to be inducted into Eagles Hall of Fame

The Philadelphia Eagles are adding two big names to their Hall of Fame.

It was announced Tuesday that Eagles great Jeremiah Trotter will be a member of the team’s 2016 Hall of Fame class. Along with Trotter, Eagles radio announcer Merrill Reese will be enshrined into Hall of Fame as well.

This honor is well-deserved for both Trotter and Reese. In his 11-year NFL career, Trotter spent three separate stints with the Eagles and became a perfect fit in Defensive Coordinator Jim Johnson‘s aggressive scheme. Trotter, also known as “The Axeman,” spent a total of eight seasons with the Eagles and was selected to play in four Pro Bowls with the Eagles.
