1992 Philadelphia Eagles season

The Eagles were represented at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville. Herschel Walker also represented the United States in the two-man bobsled event. Walker and Brian Shimer's sled finished seventh and missed a medal by 0.32 seconds, and was the higher finishing American team. Walker signed with the Eagles as a free agent on June 22. Jerome Brown's death Tragedy struck the team when, on June 25, 1992, defensive tackle Jerome Brown lost control of his Chevrolet Corvette at high speed before crashing into an electric pole, killing Brown and his nephew Gus. Later that evening in Philadelphia, in front of a large gathering at Veterans Stadium and a national television audience who were participating in a Billy Graham Crusade, Reggie White broke the news of his teammate's passing to the shock of the audience. The Eagles retired number 99 in honor of Brown, kept his locker untouched, and wore a patch with his initials and number on their jerseys. They also adopted rallying cries "Bring It Home For Jerome" and “1-2-3-JB”, referring to their desire to win the Super Bowl for their fallen teammate. NFL draft The Eagles had a 10–6 record in 1991 and tied with three other teams. Because of this, they selected the 16th to 20th pick on a rotating basis in the 12 rounds. They traded away their first round pick earlier, which was made by the Dallas Cowboys. With their pick in the second round, they chose Siran Stacy, a running back out of the University of Alabama. The Eagles selected 12 players over the 12 rounds. == Personnel ==
