The Philadelphia Eagles are prioritizing a fresh start as they begin the 2025 season, opting to refrain from discussions about being defending champions. Jordan Mailata stated that the team views themselves as 2024 world champs, focused solely on proving their worth again. Jalen Hurts echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of staying present and moving beyond past achievements. With distractions from recent celebrations like their Super Bowl ring event, maintaining a mission-focused mentality has become crucial for the team.
We're the 2024 world champs, that's it. We're not defending s---. I don't like hearing we're the defending champions. We're not defending nothing. We just won the title, and now we've got to go win it again, prove it all over again. That's the mentality this team is going to have.
It's a new journey. It's a new season, and those things are far behind us. The past is behind us and the future is too far away, so we have to stay present and worry about right now.
Avoiding distractions isn't easy -- the Eagles just received their Super Bowl rings Friday at a red-carpet event held at Ballers at the Battery in Philadelphia -- which is likely why the emphasis on staying focused on the task at hand has been so heavily emphasized.
