Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Parade: Players Share Their Excitement for the Celebration

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to celebrate their Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs with a grand parade on Friday. The festivities will begin in South Philly and culminate at the Art Museum, with over a million fans expected to line the streets to cheer on the team as they bring home their second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.

Lane Johnson: Ready for the Chaos

Veteran right tackle Lane Johnson, one of four players from the 2024 team who also played in the Eagles’ 2018 Super Bowl-winning squad, is excited to see how his younger teammates react to the wild celebrations.

“I’m looking forward to seeing how my teammates handle it, especially when the beers start flying,” Johnson said, recalling how former Eagles head coach Doug Pederson famously caught a beer one-handed during the last parade.

Johnson admitted he hasn’t prepared a speech but hinted he may have something spontaneous to share with the fans. “I’m not sure who’s speaking, but there will be a lot of unique personalities on the mic. Hopefully, we bring something meaningful to the community.”

Milton Williams: Prepping for Flying Beers

Defensive tackle Milton Williams, who played a pivotal role in the Super Bowl, has already received some insider advice—wear gloves to catch the beers being thrown by fans.

“From what I saw last time, it’s going to be crazy,” Williams said with a grin.

Cooper DeJean: Beer-Catching Like a Pro

Eagles rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean, who made the game-changing pick-six against Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is ready to show off his hands again—this time for beer instead of footballs.

“I’ll catch them,” DeJean confidently stated. “I just expect it to be crazy and a great time.”

Zack Baun: Studying Parade Highlights

Linebacker Zack Baun has been doing his homework by watching YouTube clips of the Eagles’ 2018 parade to prepare himself for the spectacle.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun,” Baun said. “I’ve heard over a million people will be out there, so I want to be mentally prepared. It’s going to be a wild time.”

Cam Jurgens: Seeing the City’s Passion Firsthand

Center Cam Jurgens is looking forward to witnessing firsthand just how much the Super Bowl win means to Philadelphia.

“We know what this championship means to us as a team, but we haven’t seen what it means to the city yet,” Jurgens said. “I can’t wait to see how much it changes people’s lives here.”

Isaiah Rodgers: A Lifetime Memory

Cornerback Isaiah Rodgers was so thrilled after the Super Bowl that he got a tattoo to commemorate the victory.

“This parade is going to be crazy,” Rodgers said. “I love this city, I love these fans. My kids only know the fight song—they don’t even know any other songs! No matter what happens in free agency, I know where my heart is.”

Mekhi Becton: Soaking It All In

Right guard Mekhi Becton made it clear before the Super Bowl that if the Eagles won, he’d be celebrating in style. Asked if his plan to have the “drunkest day of his life” was still on track, he didn’t hesitate.

“Absolutely,” Becton said, laughing. “I already saw a little taste when we pulled into the facility, and I know that was nothing compared to what the parade is going to be. It’s going to be amazing—I can’t wait!”

The Ultimate Celebration

As the city of Philadelphia prepares for another unforgettable Super Bowl parade, the excitement among Eagles players and fans is palpable. With over a million fans expected to flood the streets, Friday’s celebration promises to be a legendary moment in Philadelphia sports history.
