A unique talent on defense with good pass-rush ability, Chris Gocong now enters his third season in Philadelphia. As the starting SAM linebacker in 2007, Gocong played in all 16 games and amassed 92 tackles and one sack after spending his rookie campaign on the Injured Reserve list. Gocong really began to show his playmaking ability in the second half of the season when defensive coordinator Jim Johnson began using him at both linebacker and defensive end. Said teammate Sheldon Brown of Gocong's progression: "Chris Gocong was definitely a nice surprise for us. He made such a leap. If you had asked me about him in the beginning of the year, I would have told you the coaches were crazy for putting him out there. But, now I think he's going to be a Pro Bowler." A third round draft choice in 2006, Gocong was one of college football's most prolific sack artists (42 sacks in 41 games) during his career at Division I-AA Cal Poly.
2007 HIGHLIGHTS
- Played in all 16 games serving as the team's SAM LB, and recorded 92 tackles, 1 sack, 4 hurries and 2 KDs. His 7 TFLs ranked 2nd on the team. Also logged 11 special teams tackles
- Alternated snaps at DE and LB and recorded his first career sack (QB Tom Brady) at NE (11/25)
