For anyone curious about the Eagles’ youth-focused approach to defense in 2025, consider this stat: of the 11 players to make at least four starts in 2025, each of them is under the age of 30. Eager to help last season’s youngest NFL defense produce an encore of sorts, No. 64 pick Andrew Mukuba contributed in the best way a defensive back can, speeding towards the endzone to break up New York’s touchdown try. The Giants added intrigue to the NFC East outlook through a 34-17 win over Philadelphia on Oct. 9, 2025, but Mukuba added to his career totals, pairing the pass defended with seven tackles, tying for the team-high.
