An imposing receiver with tremendous size and athletic ability, New Mexico alum Hank Baskett averaged 15.9 yards per catch over his first two years with the Eagles and was voted as the special teams MVP by his teammates in 2007. Originally a rookie free agent signee of the Vikings, Baskett was acquired by the Eagles in an offseason trade with Minnesota for WR Billy McMullen.

Those two TDs were the two-longest by an undrafted rookie WR in NFL history, as he became  the first Eagle ever to catch two TDs of 80-yards-or-more in the same season

2007 HIGHLIGHTS:
• Led the team in special teams production points (277) and was voted the special teams MVP by his teammates

2006 HIGHLIGHTS:
• Among NFL WRs with at least 20 receptions, ranked 2nd with 21.1 yards per catch behind the Saints Devery Henderson (23.3)

• Earned Diet Pepsi NFL ROW honors for the 2nd time in 2006 for his performance vs. Atl. (12/31/06). Set career highs in recepts. (7) and yds. (177) and hauled in a career long 89-yd. TD pass from A.J. Feeley for the longest pass play in the NFL in 2006. His yardage total was the most in a game by an Eagle since Fred Barnett's 187 yds. vs. Hou. (10/24/94), and the most by an Eagles rookie since Don Looney caught 14 passes for 180 yds. at Was. (12/1/40). It was also the most in a game by an undrafted rookie WR since the Cowboys James Dixon posted 203 receiving yds. at Pho. (11/12/89).
• Earned Diet Pepsi NFL ROW honors for his effort vs. Dal. (10/8/06). Filled in for an injured Donté Stallworth and caught 3 passes for 112 yds., including an 87-yd. bomb from Donovan McNabb for the first TD of his career. It was also the first 100-yd. receiving game of his career

BIRDSEED:
• Serves as team spokesman for the NFL-wide community-based ""What Moves U?"" program, a program designed to motivate school children to become more physically active.
• Takes inspiration from his high school track coach, Mike Hankins, who offered this advice after the despondent Baskett went undrafted in 2006: "We have a 24-hour rule at our house," Hankins told Baskett. "You can feel down and gripe about something for 24 hours, but after that you put it behind you and you go to the task at hand and take care of your business." After the 21st hour, Baskett went on a two-mile run and put it behind him
• Holding the New Mexico high school record with a 7'-0" high jump, Baskett captured the Mountain West conference championship as a junior at New Mexico. It's a skill that he continues to apply on the football field. "High jumping taught me body control. Especially in those jump ball situations."
• Hosted the first annual "Hank Baskett Tee'd Off About Child Abuse" golf tournament which benefits the Oasis Children's Advocacy Center in Clovis, NM. Baskett is an avid supporter of that center, at which his father has worked for several years
• Baskett is proud to hail from Clovis, a New Mexico town of 32,000 people and the the home to Cannon Air Force Base, which houses F-16 fighter jets, and one of the largest cheese factories in the world
• Former Eagles WR and current WYSP color commentator Mike Quick on Baskett's potential: "Baskett was overlooked in the draft, but it's obvious to me that if he takes care of himself, he'll make plays for a long time in this league. Baskett kind of reminds me of Cris Carter…he has the same type of speed and he has great hands. I think he can develop into a very productive player for a long period of time."
