After a long off-season full of ups and downs, the Eagles kick off the regular season this month. To help you stay on top of all the breaking news, inside scoops and hilarious memes throughout the season, we’ve put together this list of must-follow Twitter accounts for Philly football junkies.
Eagles Insider
@EaglesInsider
Your inside track to exclusive Eagles coverage, brought to by the Eagles Insider himself, Dave Spadaro (he took over this account in late August). Spadaro also answers tons of fan questions, so send your need-to-know inquiries his way.
He needs to be more consistent, agreed. He knows. He has the ability to be better. Want to see how he fights thru it https://t.co/prHgHEUNn6

Brandon Lee Gowton
@BrandonGowton
This credentialed Eagles reporter is also the manager and editor-in-chief of @BleedingGreen, so you’re guaranteed to get great, up-to-the-minute details on the team…And some shots at the Dallas Cowboys, of course.
Just as good as they were last year with 4 wins? https://t.co/8VMIEUfHGC

Ron Jaworksi
@jawsespn
You’d be remiss not to follow Jaws – the ESPN NFL analyst Tweets about the Eagles and the 2016 Arena Football League World Champions Philadelphia Soul. It’s a double-dose of Philly football.
Soul vs Valor will be awesome! @soulfootball @WashingtonValor https://t.co/MHKuBq4aRX

Eagles Fan Problems
@EagleFanProbs
The good, the bad and the ugly of being a Philadelphia Eagles fan – it’s all here. Follow for the camaraderie, not to mention the hilarious commentary.
Ezekiel Elliot rushes 48 yards in a preseason game and he's Hall of Fame bound. But remember, Eagles fans, WE overreact to the preseason 🐸☕️

Tommy Lawlorn
@Lawlornfl
One of the sharpest minds on the Eagles Message Boards, Lawlor delivers amazing perspective on the Eagles. He’s also an amateur football scout, so you’ll get the scoop on the next big players, before they make it in the big-time.
The #Eagles made some interesting moves this afternoon. Here's my take. https://t.co/puPkSMgTI3

Carson Wentz
@cj_wentz
Fans have only seen the No. 2 overall pick in a few plays, but they feel like they know him thanks to the quarterback’s personable tweets – whether they be about his dinner, his dog – or that time he locked himself in the bathroom.
Just got locked in a bathroom at a NJ gas station. Praise the Lord for the attendants w/ the garden shears & the other guy w/ the leg kick..

Merrill Reese
@mreeseagles
The beloved play-by-play voice of the Eagles just joined Twitter this summer, but he’s making up for lost time with his insights. And if you’re like us, you’ll read all his tweets in his voice.

Rodney McLeod
@Rodney_McLeod4
Eagles first-year safety McLeod is already hard at work proving himself in Philly – he often tweets inspirational messages about working hard and getting to know the place he now calls home.
Had fun shooting this with @amyfadoolCSN & seeing my new city. Check it out tonight 10p on @CSNPhilly. #FlyEaglesFly https://t.co/hvuzrXdd1E

And follow him on Instagram as well to get a good idea of his wry, in-your-face sense of humor:

Eagles Care
@EaglesCommunity
Super fans (like you) follow their team both on and off the field. Eagles Care gives you a glimpse into all the awesome things the Eagles players, coaches and other staff members are doing to share the love.
There's no better way to spend a day off from #EaglesCamp than by visiting our friends at @ChildrensPhila. pic.twitter.com/X0k8yGyP8X

Tim_McManus
@Tim_McManus
McManus was just hired as the ESPN Eagles beat reporter (he’s also a contributor to 97.5 The Fanatic). His tweets pull no punches – it’s always straight from the coach’s mouth to his keyboard.

Crossing Broad
@CrossingBroad
Sports journalism – definitely not. But Crossing Broad is enormously entertaining in the irreverent way blogger Kyle Scott takes on the not-so-finer moments of Philadelphia sports. Conspiracy theory fan? This is the Twitter account for you.
