Fireworks are a staple on the 4th of July and the cherry on top of a day full of hotdogs, s'mores, beers, and lots of laughs. 

And yes, we're so bored without football that we're here to compare Philadelphia Eagles players to fireworks

QB Jalen Hurts

Brocade: A large number of spark trailing stars falling slowly in an umbrella pattern.

Jalen Hurts is the star of the show and every move he makes creates a domino effect. 

WR AJ Brown

Chrysanthemum: A spherical break of colored stars, similar to a peony, but with stars that leave a visible trail of sparks.

Sparks fly when AJ Brown makes a big play, leaving opposing defenders in the dust. 

DT Jalen Carter

Crossette:  A shell containing several large stars that travel a short distance before breaking apart into smaller stars with a loud crackling sound, creating a crisscrossing grid-like effect.

Jalen Carter is going to make opposing quarterbacks see stars any chance he gets. 

RB Saquon Barkley

Dahlia- Stars travel a longer-than-usual distance from the shell break before burning out, similar to peony shell but with fewer and larger stars, some shells are cylindrical rather than spherical to allow for larger stars.

Saquon Barkley is king of running over opposing defenses, averaging 4.3 yards per rush attempt. And that number should only go up while running behind a better offensive line. 

Center Cam Jurgens

Pistil – The centre sphere of stars in a spherical burst shell which contains an outer sphere of stars. 

We haven't seen much of Cam Jurgens at the center position just yet, but considering Jason Kelce hand-picked him to be his replacement, he should do just fine taking over the heart of the Eagles' offensive line.

LT Jordan Mailata

Pattern Shells – Aerial shells that look like maple leafs, rings, butterflies, Saturn, hearts, bows, smiley faces, snails, and more. 

Jordan Mailata has one of the most infectious personalities on the team, so it's only right that if he were a firework he would light up the sky with hearts and butterflies. 

DE Brandon Graham

Crackling Rain – An effect created by large, slow-burning stars within a shell that leave a trail of glittering sparks behind and make a loud sizzling noise.

Brandon Graham might be showing his age and slowing down, but he always shows up when the Eagles need him most.

WR DeVonta Smith

Spider – Shell containing a fast burning tailed or charcoal star that is burst very hard so that the stars travel in a straight and flat trajectory before burning out. This appears in the sky as a series of radial lines much like the legs of a spider.

When DeVonta Smith gets the ball, good luck tracking him down. They don't call him the Slim Reaper or Silent Assassin for nothing.
