Pro Football Hall of Fame
Philadelphia Eagles Safety Reed Blankenship’s jersey from Super Bowl LIX is now on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Blankenship tallied three combined tackles and one solo tackle in the Eagles' 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Feb. 9, 2025.
Blankenship manned an Eagles secondary that held Patrick Mahomes to 21-of-32 passing and 257 yards while forcing two interceptions. The Eagles' suffocating defensive unit allowed zero first-half points as their offense established an early 24-0 lead. The win marked the Eagles’ second Super Bowl victory since 2018.
Blankenship, who went undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft, competed in his second Super Bowl in three seasons. He earned four starts as a rookie in the 2022 season and became the Eagles’ full-time starter in 2023.
As a team, the Eagles went 14-3 in the 2024 season behind a defense that allowed a league-best 174.2 passing yards per game. Blankenship accounted for a career-high four interceptions during the season. The third-year safety also logged postseason career highs in solo, assisted and combined tackles.
Blankenship’s jersey is on display next to Cooper DeJean’s game-worn cleats from Super Bowl LIX. DeJean intercepted Mahomes and returned it for a touchdown in the Super Bowl.
