Eagles $12 Million Man Called Philly's Biggest Surprise
The Philadelphia Eagles are 3-0 on the season, so unsurprisingly there have been plenty of bright spots for the franchise.
Guys like Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and Quinyon Mitchell stand out. But, there are others who have outperformed expectations already. For example, Jordan Davis has gotten a heap of praise already this season. His touchdown against the Los Angeles Rams has gotten most of the buzz, but this is a guy who came in ready to play in 2025.
It was shared that Davis lost 26 pounds ahead of the season. He got to work after the Super Bowl and came into training camp in phenomenal shape. Through three games, he has a sack, 16 tackles, two tackles for loss, and three passes defended.
The Philadelphia Eagles have a potential breakout on their hands this season
He is just 1 1/2 sacks away from his career-high through just three games. He's been good and Bleacher Report's Brad Gagnon called him the Eagles' "biggest surprise" of the season so far.
"Philadelphia Eagles: Jordan Davis," Gagnon said. "And not just his headline-generating game-clinching play Sunday against the Rams. It wasn't a given that the defensive tackle's fifth-year option would be exercised this offseason, but that is now looking like a genius move considering the huge impact Davis has made thus far in a breakout campaign."
That goes to show how perception has changed. There was a time in which it was wondered if Davis would make the team. Now, he's proving he's an integral piece for the franchise. He's going to be a free agent after the season. He's on the fifth-year option on his rookie deal. Davis is making just over $12 million this season and is worth every penny. As we progress in the season, if he continues this run he's on, the question will be whether or not the Eagles can retain him after the campaign. But, that's a problem for another day. All in all, Davis couldn't have asked for a better start to his contract year in Philadelphia.

Bindi and Grace Irwin supporting Robert on #DWTS ….. i am not ok. 😭
His sister Bindi Irwin knows that path well — she won the Mirrorball Trophy back in 2015.
Carrying on Steve Irwin’s Legacy
Look at how young Robert Irwin was when he was first at DWTs to support his sister!! And now he’s dancing (and probably gonna win) 🥲🥲 #DWTS #DWTS34
Irwin’s journey comes with extra poignancy given the legacy of his father, the late conservationist Steve Irwin. Steve, who died in 2006 after being stung by a stingray in the Great Barrier Reef, reinvested a significant portion of his fortune in wildlife conservation.
His wife, Terri, later revealed that he had left the family with little financial security, apart from a $200,000 life insurance policy, as per a report in The New York Post.
Despite those early struggles, both Robert and Bindi have followed in their father’s footsteps as wildlife warriors and beloved public figures. “When I see a picture of my dad or footage, I actually love having his presence around,” Robert reflected on a podcast last year.
“Living in Australia Zoo, he’s everywhere — the images and pictures, the videos and the sound, he’s still a part of every day for me.”
Robert Emerges as a ‘DWTS’ Fan FavoriteIrwin’s appeal on DWTS goes beyond his paycheck. During Week 1, he and partner Witney Carson charmed audiences with a high-energy jive that doubled as a nod to his family’s outdoorsman heritage. In Week 2, the duo performed a tango to Junior Senior’s 2002 hit “Move Your Feet,” earning 22/30 from the judges and tying for the night’s top score.
Tango was FUN 🎉 I am so grateful that we get to do this every week, and I feel incredibly blessed to be part of the @officialdwts fam ☺️#TeamIrWINit will see you next week 🐊🪩
Off-screen, fans quickly embraced him online for his wholesome charm and striking resemblance to his father. “Give Robert Irwin the Mirrorball. I’ve seen enough,” one fan wrote on X. Another declared: “WE MUST PROTECT ROBERT IRWIN omg.”
Life, Love & What Comes Next
It was SO much fun doing this cover shoot with my mates @people Magazine. It’s a honour to talk about what it means to continue my family’s legacy while creating my own. And of course this exciting new Dancing With The Stars Adventure! Be sure to check out the new issue of People
With his career on the rise, Irwin admits he’s still searching for love off the dance floor. Speaking to E! News after a recent performance, he shared that his top priority is finding someone with “genuine kindness.”
“My life is a whirlwind, it’s an adventure,” he said. “I would love to be able to share that with someone and to share those little moments. I have a lot of great role models in the love department and a lot of people I look up to and go, ‘Wow, couples goals.’ So I want to find that.”
For now, though, Irwin is focused on the Mirrorball and on proving that he’s more than just a legacy name in the ballroom.
