Nick Sirianni: 'Adversity shapes you'

In the immediate aftermath of Sunday's season-ending loss to the 49ers, Head Coach Nick Sirianni shared the message he gave to the players in the locker room at Lincoln Financial Field.

"What I said to the guys is, 'Adversity shapes you to who you are if you allow it to.' There's a lot to be thankful for, but you've got to use this adversity to shape you and that's for everybody in that locker room: myself, the coaches, the players. Let the pain shape you to what you want to be, and we will use this like we used it at the end of '22, '23 because all that was necessary for '24. We'll see what the future holds," Sirianni said.

Sirianni's teams will look to continue the pattern of following up losses in the Wild Card Round ('21, '23, and '25) with appearances in the Super Bowl ('22 and '24). But before the evaluation process of what transpired in the 2025 season gets underway, Sirianni understands the emotional toll that the long journey has had on everyone connected to the organization.

"Right now, I feel for all our guys in the locker room, all the players, all the coaches, the front office, everybody that works so hard, the fans that come out and support us, Mr. (Jeffrey) Lurie," Sirianni said. "I feel for all of us, all of them, and there'll be time to evaluate everything coming up."

Jalen Hurts: 'I just want to win'

Last season ended with a Super Bowl trophy in the hands of Jalen Hurts, but the 2025 season won't have that same finale.

Hurts has long said the only thing that matters is stacking victories, and he echoed that sentiment on Monday when asked what he wants the Eagles' offense to look like.

"I just want to win. I want to win. You play the game to win championships. You play the game to play for championships and put yourself in those opportunities to win championships," Hurts said.

"Obviously, that starts with having cohesiveness and great sequencing and having a flow where everyone's on the same page and going out there and doing that. I think that's been the humbling thing for me as a leader. I've been able to learn more about myself, more about my team, and more about what it takes and what demands of a quarterback [there are] and just growing throughout my time. Those are the things that I relish in and I take great pride in."

While Hurts' season ended before he hoped, he's going to use his experience from the year as a teachable moment, just like he has done time and time again.

"Everything that I've experienced to this point in my career [is] something I'll be able to learn from and be better from," he said. "I look at this [opportunity] as no different."

Jordan Davis reflects on a season of growth

One of the biggest positive revelations of the 2025 season was the development of former first-round pick Jordan Davis.

The 13th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft enjoyed a breakout campaign, he nearly doubled all of his career box score stats with 72 total tackles, nine for loss, 4.5 sacks, 22 QB pressures, six QB hits, and six passes defensed while playing more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps (61 percent) for the first time in his career.

Fifty of those tackles resulted in a negative play for the offense this season (in terms of expected points added (EPA)), the second-most among all defensive linemen in the league, according to NFL's Next Gen Stats.

Oh, and he scored his first touchdown on the play of the year, blocking a potential game-winning field goal attempt by the Rams and returning it for a score.

"I love this team. I love this program. They gave me an opportunity. They believed in me when nobody did. And I felt like it was my duty to be the best player I could be. And I'm still focusing on growth," Davis said. "I'm still ... this is not the best that I have been. This is not the best that I can be. So I'm always scratching. I'm always clawing for that. The ceiling is the only thing that you can place upon yourself. If you feel like you have no ceilings, then you have no ceilings."

The potential was always there for Davis, who had a decorated career at Georgia and posted outstanding testing numbers at the NFL Scouting Combine. But Davis always looked at potential as a double-edged sword.

"You've got the potential to do a lot of things, but if you don't put your mind to it, if you don't work at it, you'll never reach that," he said.

The success on the field allowed the gregarious 6-foot-6, 336-pound Davis to be a positive force off the field and in the locker room as a leader.

"That's not going to stop. That's just me. That's how I live life. So that's not going to stop. I'm excited to see where it can go and where it could go and the potential of it all. But we just have to keep it going. We just have to keep it going," Davis said.

Jihaad Campbell's lessons from his rookie season

Jihaad Campbell was thrust into the action from the start as Philadelphia's first-round draft choice.

The linebacker was the opening day starter next to Zack Baun as Nakobe Dean worked his way back from a significant injury, and Campbell consistently made positive plays to begin his career.

Dean eventually returned and took over the starting role, but the rookie continued to work and still contributed on defense late in the season.

"I think it's just all about controlling the things that you can control and only that, right?" Campbell said on Monday. "I make sure that I come in this building every day with a smile on my face, with a getting to work mentality.

"Whatever it is, just having a neutral mindset of not getting too high or not getting too low, but just making sure that I'm coming in this building and I'm ready to work, each and every day. I appreciate all the guys that was among my rookie year journey and helped me and assisted me in the best way possible to be the best version of myself."

Life as an NFL rookie can be a blur. You go from attending classes in college to moving to a different city where you meet all new people and have to learn a unique system.

Even though Campbell returned to the area where he grew up, he still experienced the challenges that come with the transition.

"Probably just managing everything," Campbell said when asked what he learned the most. "Everybody pretty much went through this process, but just going from college and to the league and having to understand what that task is, especially for a first-round rookie. It's not like, 'Oh yeah, I got time and just sit the bench and relax.' No, it's time to actually work. It's time to learn. It's time to grow, right now. [There's] no shortcuts to it. It's all about continuous improvement each and every day and just wanting to be better, the best version of yourself each and every day."

Saquon Barkley: 'We've got to learn from it'

The Eagles' offense looked explosive and efficient at times, but for much of the season the unit wasn't able to put together complete games.

Saquon Barkley had his moments as well, but on Monday's locker cleanout he pointed to that hot and cold nature on offense and for himself individually.

"I was great at times, but I wasn't consistent enough throughout the season," he said. "I kind of think that was a theme for our team, and especially the offense. You have the mindset that you think you can get to the playoffs, and you're going to turn it on, we're going to just figure it out, and that wasn't the case.

"There's a lot of things that we can learn from this year. I just have the utmost confidence in the leadership here, the guys, the team, the players, the coaches, from top to bottom, that we will get the thing back on track, and it just sucks that we've got to wait a little longer. But that's part of the nature of this business, there's only one team that wins, and there's going to be 31 losers. So we'll move on, and you've got to get better."

Barkley is confident the issues encountered in 2025 can be resolved, but to do so he thinks everyone needs to look inward rather than point fingers.

"I know there's going to be a lot of questions and a lot of opinions, and I'm not just saying this because there's cameras and mics in my face, it's how I operate: Before I go saying what someone else could have done better, I've got to start with myself," he said. "And I think we all need to do that. Because if we think that there's one problem, we think that there's one reason why we weren't successful as a team and why we weren't successful as an offense, and that we had nothing to do with it, no matter what happens, we're going to be in the same position next year.

"... We've got to learn from our mistakes. And the leaders on this team, we've got to learn from it, and we've got to be better. Not let things slide, hold each other accountable, and use this as fuel to get us ready for the next season."

Rookie no more, Darius Cooper eyes bigger role

Despite a record-breaking career at Tarleton State, one that ended with FCS first-team All-America honors, wide receiver Darius Cooper was on the outside looking in when it came to the 2025 NFL Draft.

The 5-foot-11, 210-pound Cooper signed with the Eagles in the post-draft frenzy, joining a team that featured A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, and DeVonta Smith at the top of the depth chart.

It didn't matter.

Cooper flourished day in and day out in the spring and summer, earning a spot on the final 53-man roster out of Training Camp. By season's end, Cooper played 20 percent of the offensive snaps in 13 games, recording nine catches for 92 yards.

"It's definitely been a blessing to play on this team with these guys, this caliber of receiver," Cooper said. "I never take this moment for granted, but just learning from it and growing from it, and implementing the things that I've learned into my game is really the goal. It's just been crazy, my life drastically changed in a year, coming from Tarleton, Stephenville, Texas, and now we're in Philadelphia, so it's just been a blessing."

In some ways, Cooper has completed the tough part, making it to the NFL. But with another draft class cycle set to get underway, there are dozens of wide receivers who want to, in essence, be the next Darius Cooper.

"It's more than just playing football. It's like, are you satisfied with who you are as a person? Are you satisfied with how your life is? I would never just be satisfied. I always want to strive for more, strive for greatness, and greatness is the best I can be both on and off the field," Cooper said.

"I think that always having that hunger, always having that eagerness to be better, it would always fuel me to work and to never get complacent, so I think having that mentality will take you far into this league."
