1960 Philadelphia Eagles season Last updated September 04, 2025 Off season On March 13, 1960, there was an expansion draft to stock the Dallas Rangers , who soon changed their name to the "Cowboys." [ 1] In this draft the Eagles lost tight end Dick Bielski , tackle Jerry DeLucca , and linebacker Bill Striegel to Dallas.
As since 1951 , the Eagles held training camp at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania .
NFL draft The 1960 NFL draft and the 1960 AFL draft were held separately for college players (the common draft was initiated in 1967 ).
The NFL draft was a draft of 20 rounds with 12 teams picking. The Eagles rotated having the 7th, 8th or 9th pick in the draft rounds, with Chicago and Cleveland. The quickly assembled NFL franchise of the Dallas Cowboys did not have a chance to pick, as the draft was held on November 30, 1959, before they were formed on January 28, 1960.The AFL draft was a list made the teams of territorial players they claimed first. Then a draft was held by drafting players by position instead of any available player. When Minneapolis left the league other AFL teams pursued those picks. Oakland got the rights after they joined the league.The Philadelphia Eagles lost four players to the AFL including 1st round pick Ron Burton , a running back from Northwestern University . A total of six NFL 1st round picks in this draft signed with the AFL this year.Player selections The table shows the Eagles selections and what picks they had that were traded away and the team that ended up with that pick. [ 2] It is possible the Eagles' pick ended up with this team via another team that the Eagles made a trade with. Not shown are acquired picks that the Eagles traded away.

Regular season During the 1960 season, Chuck Bednarik is perhaps best known for knocking Frank Gifford of the New York Giants out of football for over eighteen months, considered one of the most famous tackles in NFL history. [ 10] It occurred late in the game at Yankee Stadium on November 20. [ 11] [ 12]
Bednarik was the last player to play the whole game. He averaged 58 minutes a game, starting at center and linebacker in the second half of season. [ 13]
Schedule A bye week was necessary in 1960 , as the league expanded to an odd-number (13) of teams (Dallas ); one team was idle each week.
