Maybe a couple of the linemen - Ray Childress and William Fuller (who played in Houston for 7-8 years, but actually did his best work during his 3 years with the Eagles.)

He's the only current all time franchise leader in receiving yards who never once led that team in receiving yards in a season.

I believe it was Childress we already put in.

Yes, with Childress ... Hill is another good option, though he was more the deep outside threat, while Givens worked the inside over the middle more. Once Jeffries emerged, Givens and Hill caught less passes but for little receivers, very tough, especially on that cement surface with a turf so thin, it was just barely thicker than paint in the House Of Pain. And yes, this run-shoot-chuck-and-duck offense was the original Greatest Show On Turf.

Childress was inducted back in 2023.
