As NFL training camps kick off for the 2025 season, one player drawing significant attention is Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Jordan Davis. Fresh off a Super Bowl-winning campaign, the Eagles exercised Davis’ fifth-year option, ensuring his tenure with the team extends through the 2026 season.
Davis is part of a notable players of former Georgia Bulldogs who have found success with the Eagles, a trend that continues to be a storyline for the Philadelphia franchise. Davis says he has shed 26 pounds this offseason. Davis is now listed weight at 336 pounds, which is aimed at enhancing his performance and allowing him to play more snaps. A slimmer Davis should excel, particularly in pass-rushing situations.

“Just putting in the work, putting in the work and being consistent,” said Davis when asked about his transformation this offseason. “I’ll say living better, more energy, greater focus, conditioning wise on the field. I feellike, you know, it takes me longer to really get tired.”
With the loss of key defensive linemen, Davis will be asked to do more than just be a run stuffer. During his 2024 season he had 27 total tackles and had a sack in the Super Bowl on Patrick Mahomes. If he can reach another level this season with his All-Pro teammate Jalen Carter, then they can be one of the most dominant duos in the NFL.
Davis is one of eight Georgia Bulldogs on the Eagles, who open the 2025 NFL season against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 4.
