The Eagles 2005 second round draft pick from Georgia, Reggie
Brown possesses a tireless work ethic on and off the field, and
has shown big-play capability over his first three NFL
campaigns. "Reggie Brown moves a lot like Marvin Harrison, to
be honest," said teammate Sheldon Brown. "He looks like
Harrison does when I study him on tape. The only thing he
needs is to get more balls thrown his way. He will put up
numbers." Brown inked a five-year contract extension in 2006
that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2014.

SEASON HIGHLIGHTS:
• Scored his 1st TD of the season, a 22-yd. recept. from
Donovan McNabb in a win at Sea. (11/2)

played in 14 games (11 starts) and led the entire secondary with
a career-high 98 tackles, while also notching a sack and
interception. Said head coach Andy Reid of Mikell's
development: "Quintin, by the end of the season, was playing at
a Pro Bowl caliber level as a safety. We knew what a great
special teams player he was, but he became an even better
safety." One of six rookie free agents to make the opening day
roster in 2003, Mikell has posted a team-leading 122 special
teams tackles during that time span and was voted the Eagles
special teams MVP in 2005 and 2006. Mikell earned a four-year
contract on 2/27/07 that will keep him in Philadelphia through
2010.

SEASON HIGHLIGHTS:
• Leads the team with 92 tackles and ranks 2nd with a career-
high 2 INTs
• Snatched an INT off J.T. O’Sullivan in the 4th qtr. of a win at
SF (10/12) and returned it 41 yds. to the 49ers sideline. The
