Starting from Zero: Newcomer Flips the “Eagles Switch,” Determined to Make History in Midnight Green

Philadelphia – When Josh Uche showed up at Eagles training camp donning the number 0 jersey, fans couldn’t help but wonder: Would this number continue to bring “bad luck” like it did for his predecessors, or would it mark the start of a new chapter in Philly history?
Not everyone dares to choose number 0—especially in a city as rich in football tradition as Philadelphia. The previous Eagles to wear the number, like D’Andre Swift and Bryce Huff, only lasted one season before moving on. But Josh Uche has his own very special reason for the choice.
“Bad history? I don’t care about that,” Uche declared confidently after the fourth day of training camp. “For me, zero is simply a new beginning—a milestone to mark my journey of giving everything for the Eagles. From zero, I’m ready to rise with this team.”
After a breakout third season with 11.5 sacks, Uche’s career faced plenty of ups and downs: injuries, team changes, and unstable years with the Patriots and Chiefs. Now, Uche has chosen Philadelphia as the place to “start over,” signing a one-year deal with the goal of breaking the jersey’s “curse” and making his mark on one of the most storied defenses in the NFL.
The former Patriots standout explained that picking number 0 wasn’t about “testing his luck” but rather as a personal reminder to rebuild everything—effort, dedication, and daily improvement. It’s also powerful motivation for Uche to prove he’s worthy of another chance, as the Eagles hunger for another championship run.
Uche emphasized, “The Eagles are an organization that knows how to spot talent, give opportunities, and help players truly develop. Here, I feel like I can explode again and write a new chapter for myself—starting from zero!”
With that attitude, Eagles fans can look forward to a breakout season ahead—where number 0 won’t just shake off the “curse,” but could become a new symbol of grit and rebirth in Philadelphia!
