As the Philadelphia Eagles gear up for another Super Bowl run, head coah Nick Sirianni has announced the leaders of the birds nest.

The 2025 Philadelphia Eagles captains, as announced in late August 2025, are Jalen Hurts (QB), Saquon Barkley (RB), A.J. Brown (WR), Jake Elliott (K), Lane Johnson (RT), Jordan Mailata (LT), Zack Baun (LB), and Reed Blankenship (S). This marks the first time Saquon Barkley, Zack Baun, and Reed Blankenship have been selected as team captains with the Eagles, while the others are returning leaders.

“It’s amazing,” said Baun, who is entering his second season in Philadelphia. “It’s awesome. (It’s) better than any achievement I’ve gotten to date. It means a lot because it’s something that’s voted on by my teammates.”

Blankenship, who came to Philadelphia in 2022 as an undrafted free agent, is fulfilling his dream by becoming a team captain.

“It’s always been my dream to become a captain, just regardless of where I’m at,” said Blankenship. “I feel like that is one of the best things you can do as a teammate. It goes far beyond just having the ‘C’ on your chest, that’s how I’ve always looked at it. With all my teammates trusting in me and voting for me, it just means the world.

“I think I’ve been a captain at each level of my football career, and I don’t take it lightly. I feel like it’s a big motivator and encouragement for me. Just knowing that my teammates look at me when things aren’t going as planned, it means a lot.”
