This week, the Philadelphia Eagles got their hands on their championship rings.
The massive and unique piece of jewelry went viral for the creative design, which includes a button that forces the wings on the sides to pop out.
Although the former Eagles standout cornerback Jalen Mills is no longer with the organization, he is a fan of what he saw. The veteran defensive back took to social media to send a message to other players across the league.
“If seeing that ring the Eagles just got doesn’t motivate you, [I don’t know] what will!!” Mills wrote.
If seeing that ring the eagles just got doesn’t motivate you .. Idk what will.!!🔥

The former Eagles defensive back knows the feeling of receiving a Super Bowl ring well.
Back in 2016, Mills joined the Eagles after his run at LSU. He was the team’s 233rd pick in the seventh round. Typically, getting drafted that late doesn’t result in immediate playing time. For Mills, he stood out rather quickly. As a result, he played in 16 games during his rookie season.
By year two, Mills was a full-time starter for the Eagles. He ended up being a critical presence in the Eagles’ secondary during the season they won their first Super Bowl.

In 2017, Mills played in 15 games. He combined 64 tackles, with one of them going for a loss. The sophomore defensive back deflected 14 passes and picked off quarterbacks three times. One of those interceptions went back for a score.
During the Eagles’ 2017 playoff run, Mills had 13 tackles and five pass deflections. He started on the opposite side of Ronald Darby on the Eagles’ Super Bowl-winning team.
Mills remained with the Eagles for several seasons, but the rosters he was on didn’t manage to get back to the Super Bowl stage. By 2020, Mills was playing in his final season for the Eagles, starting in 15 games. He collected a career-high 74 tackles and picked off one pass.
After his fifth season with the Eagles, Mills tested the free agency market. The veteran landed a four-year offer from the New England Patriots. He was set to earn a reported $24 million throughout that tenure. After the 2022 season, Mills was released by New England. He returned to the team under new terms during the same season.
Following his third season with the Patriots, Mills has struggled to stick anywhere else. At this point, the defensive back remains a free agent and seems motivated by his former team to get back out on the field and make an impact.
Meanwhile, the Eagles will get another shot at defending their title as Super Bowl Champions. When the Eagles won it with Mills on the team, they struggled to follow up with a similar performance. Although the Eagles squeezed by the Wild Card Round in the 2018 playoffs, they came up short in the Divisional Round.
The Eagles will be searching for different results this time around.
