Jordan Davis has emerged as a prominent leader on the Philadelphia Eagles and is eager to share the inspiring message he hopes to convey following the 2025 NFL season. Coming off a breakthrough year, Davis played nearly 200 more snaps than in previous seasons, recording more sacks and tackles for loss than in his first three years combined.
Davis expressed his determination to effect change in his life, stating, “When you put your mind to something and you really want it for yourself, then you can do it.” His commitment to improvement has not only enhanced his performance but also solidified his role as a vocal leader within the Eagles’ locker room.
As the season unfolded, Davis’s skills on the field translated into respect from teammates. He noted, “When you can back it up with your play on the field, your message gets through more.” With a strong voice in the locker room, he has gained admiration for the work he has put in to establish himself as one of the NFL’s best interior linemen.
Reflecting on his journey, Davis emphasized the importance of his teammates and the community in Philadelphia. “None of this would have been possible if it wasn’t for the guys in this room,” he said, underscoring his commitment to the people around him. He described his connection to the team and city as fundamental to his growth, stating, “My growth, my development, my reason why, it’s because of these people.”
Davis also expressed pride in the resilience demonstrated by his teammates during challenging moments. Despite the Eagles’ wild-card loss to the San Francisco 49ers, he remains optimistic. “I think remembering the good things is crucial. If you dwell on the negatives, then your mindset is negative,” he pointed out.
As he prepares for the 2026 season, Davis is under a one-year tender but is hopeful for a long-term deal with the Eagles. The contract situation is complicated by fellow interior lineman Jalen Carter, who is eligible for an extension after three seasons. Davis acknowledged the uncertainties, stating, “Whatever happens, happens. I can only be the best player I can be.”
He has witnessed considerable turnover in the roster since joining the team and believes the Eagles will remain competitive under the leadership of owner Jeff Lurie, general manager Howie Roseman, and head coach Nick Sirianni. “It’s not the X’s and O’s, it’s not the wins or losses, it’s the people,” Davis remarked, highlighting the strong culture within the organization.
As the Eagles look ahead, Davis’s journey serves as a reminder of the power of determination, teamwork, and resilience. He aims to carry forward the positivity from this past season into the next, encouraging his teammates to focus on the positives and build on their experiences.
