The Philadelphia Eagles made history on Saturday by drafting the son of one of its best-ever defensive players.

In the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Eagles drafted Clemson linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr., the son of former Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter.

The elder Trotter started his career with the Eagles in 1998 and played there through 2001, later making a return in 2004 and playing there through 2006. He also spent his final season in 2009 with Philadelphia.

Now, the younger Trotter will start his professional career where his dad made his legacy.

With news of the pick, the Eagles shared a heartwarming photo of both Trotters on the field, Trotter Jr. just a baby wearing an Eagles beanie.

That’s just adorable.

Just like the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Joey Porter’s son, Joey Porter Jr., in last year’s draft, the Eagles paid tribute to their franchise history in such a neat way during Saturday’s last day of the 2024 NFL Draft.
