From Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni's headset being included to uniforms being added, the Hall of Fame has made sure the Eagles are on full display. Additions to the display have been updated over the last month for football fans to see when they visit the legendary museum.

Another added part to history had been included that will make Eagles fans book their airline tickets to Canton, Ohio.

The museum took to social media to announce that they have added Eagles safety Reed Blankenship's jersey to their display.

"NEW at the Hall of Fame!

 

Reed Blankenship’s game-worn jersey from Super Bowl LIX is now on display in the @Eagles’ Super Bowl exhibit. The free safety helped lead Philadelphia to a dominant 40-22 win over Kansas City, holding the two-time defending champs scoreless until the final seconds of the third quarter.

Blankenship and the Eagles wrapped up the 2024 season as the NFL’s top-ranked pass defense."

Blankenship's journey to the NFL was challenging, but he has made a significant impression as an undrafted rookie out of Middle Tennessee State. He's been a full-time starter in the secondary since last year and has become known as a ball hawk with seven interceptions in the previous two seasons


During the Super Bowl, Blankenship made three tackles, with one being solo, to help the Eagles capture their second Lombardi Trophy. He made 11 tackles, one tackle for loss, one pass deflection, and one forced fumble in four postseason games last year.

Now Blankenship is a part of football immortality for the world to see. While he might not have been the one who made a Cooper DeJean-type play on Patrick Mahomes, Blankenship was very much a key player in the Eagles' Super Bowl run that won't be forgotten by the fan base.
