Had Brown not died in a June 25, 1992, car accident, he undoubtedly would have finished much higher on this list. Brown led the NFL in solo tackles (88) in 1991, had 29 1/2 career sacks, and made two consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl. 

32 -- Brown, Tim | Running Back, Returner | With Eagles: 1960-67

A three-time Pro Bowler with the Eagles, Brown finished his career as the team's third all-time leading rusher (3,703 yards, 29 touchdowns). On Nov. 6, 1966, against Dallas, he became the first player ever to return two kickoffs for TDs in a single game.

33 -- Thomas, William | Tackle | With Eagles: 1998-present

The Birds' first-round draft pick in 1997, Thomas has been protecting Donovan McNabb's blindside throughout the franchise quarterback's career, earning three Pro Bowl appearances.

34 -- Wojciechowicz, Alex | Linebacker, Center | With Eagles: 1946-50

One of football's Hall of Fame iron men, Wojciechowicz was purchased from the Lions in 1946. "Wojie" became a focal point of Greasy Neale's 5-2-4 defense, and in 41 games made five interceptions and helped the team win consecutive world titles.

35 -- Joyner, Seth | Linebacker | With Eagles: 1986-93

Playing his first eight years here, Joyner anchored Buddy Ryan's defenses, averaging 4.4 sacks from 1986 to 1990 and finishing with 37.5 sacks in 120 games. He peaked in 1991, when he was named NFL player of the year by Sports Illustrated.

36 -- Jackson, Keith | Tight end | With Eagles: 1988-91

Selected 14th overall in 1988, Jackson was one of the most productive rookie tight ends ever, setting a team record with 81 catches for 869 yards.

37 -- Jurgensen, Sonny | Quarterback | With Eagles: 1957-63

After backing up Norm Van Brocklin on the 1960 championship team, Jurgensen threw a team-record 32 touchdown passes the next year. He spent the last 10 years of his Hall of Fame career in Washington.

38 -- Hairston, Carl | Defensive End | With Eagles: 1976-83

In eight seasons with the Eagles - four as defensive captain - Hairston missed only one game. He recorded more than 100 tackles from 1977 to 1981 and unofficially led the NFC with 15 sacks in 1979.

 39 -- Walston, Bobby | Wide Receiver, Kicker | With Eagles: 1951-62

The Eagles' 14th-round pick out of Georgia in 1951, Walston sits at sixth on the team's career lists in receptions (311) and receiving yards (5,363). He is ninth in touchdowns (46), and is the team's all-time leading scorer with 881 points.

40 -- Ringo, Jim | Center | With Eagles: 1964-67

After 11 years in Green Bay, Ringo played the final four years of his storied career in Philly, earning three Pro Bowl berths to go with his previous seven. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1981.

41 -- Hopkins, Wes | Safety | With Eagles: 1983-93

There wasn't a nastier Eagle than Hopkins, who hit to hurt and finished his career with 137 games played and 30 interceptions, fifth best in team history. Hopkins made the Pro Bowl once, in 1985, when he led the team with 136 tackles and six interceptions.
