Jason Babin News

I've watched a couple of weeks of Eagles OTAs now, rookie camp before that, and if you want to know what I've learned about Fletcher Cox, I can confirm that the team's No.

After being a journeyman during his first six NFL seasons, former first rounder Jason Babin has emerged as a Pro Bowler in the past two, totaling 30.5 sacks as a member of the Tennessee Titans and Philadelphia Eagles.

Eagles defensive end Trent Cole expects big things this season "Eighteen sacks," he said, citing the number fellow defensive end Jason Babin racked up last season.
