Jordan Davis describes accountability between him and Jalen Carter
· Yahoo Sports
Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter received record-setting contract extensions this offseason, but neither defensive tackle views financial security as a reason to become comfortable. During his appearance on “Takeoff with John Clark,” Davis spoke strongly about a close-knit Eagles defensive line that holds its members accountable before position coach Clint Hurtt needs to intervene.
That approach extends to conditioning.

Vic Fangio challenged Davis to improve his conditioning after arriving in Philadelphia, and the results were evident during Davis’ breakout 2025 season. Fangio also established a target weight for Carter, who arrived for mandatory minicamp in improved shape. Davis said Fangio remains involved throughout the offseason, occasionally calling players to ask about their workouts and progress. Head coach Nick Sirianni shares that commitment because both coaches understand how conditioning can affect performance late in games and deep into the season.
The responsibility does not stop with Davis and Carter. Moro Ojomo, Ty Robinson and the other defensive linemen exchange observations and accept coaching from one another regardless of experience or draft status.
That willingness to listen has helped create one of Philadelphia’s closest position groups.
Davis and Carter supported each other during their respective contract news conferences, but their relationship is built through daily work. Each player has individual goals, yet both understand their improvement directly affects the entire defense. The Eagles have invested heavily in the two former Georgia teammates. Their willingness to remain accountable will help determine whether that investment produces another championship-level defensive front.
