Malcolm Jenkins, safety, high school: Piscataway
Super Bowl LII stats: Four tackles
Jenkins is a dynamic playmaker. He signed with the Eagles in 2014 and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2016 and again this season. The New Orleans Saints drafted him in 2009.
He is only one of four NFL players to have six interceptions for touchdowns since 2009.
He credits his father Lee, high school football and track coach Larry Lester and college coach Jim Tressel with helping him get to where he is today.
"My father's best advice was, 'You don't know what you don't know,' meaning you constantly need to learn more," Jenkins said in the Philadelphia Eagles' media guide. "Larry Lester taught me how to prepare and how to train. We'd sometimes be the only two people on the field on a weekend, just trying to get myself better."

Rasul Douglas, cornerback, high school: East Orange
Super Bowl LII stats: No stats
Rasul Douglas was selected by the Eagles in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft.
He played two years of college football at West Virginia and co-led the country with eight interceptions as a senior in 2017.
He is one of seven siblings raised by his grandmother. He took the bus to and from Nassau Community College and often went hungry.
He would wait until the end of the day to eat and often ordered off of the dollar menu at McDonald's, according to the Eagles' media guide.
"Every time I eat, I always think I'm making up a meal that I missed in junior college," Douglas said in the media guide. "It definitely fuels me all the time, just thinking about what I went through, practicing on an empty stomach, going to school on an empty stomach. You can't even focus. So that definitely makes me want to play all-out all the time."

Curry attended Marshall, where he was named 2011 Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year after an 11-sack senior season.
Curry runs a program to help needy families called Thanksgiving Rush. He donated 200 Thanksgiving meals to families this season.
