The state of Alabama is very well represented in Super Bowl LVII, but one team’s Alabama roots run just a little deeper.
The Philadelphia Eagles quickly became the favorite in Alabama because of Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith. However, nine players on the Eagles roster have ties to the state and give people in Alabama even more reason to cheer for “The Birds.”
Josh Jobe is another Alabama alumni. Unfortunately, the young cornerback hasn’t seen much playing time during his rookie season with Philly. Nonetheless, coming into the season as an undrafted free agent and making the team that won the NFC Championship this season is no easy task. Quez Watkins is another Athens, AL native. He played his college ball at Southern Miss before being selected 200th overall in the 2020 NFL draft by the Eagles. This season Watkins has 33 receptions for 354 yards and three touchdowns.
