In the November 8th issue of Sports Illustrated (which was released today), Eagles defensive end Trent Cole has made the list for Peter King's Midseason All-Pro Team:
"A sixth-year veteran who’s thriving in Philly’s 4–3 system, Cole is on pace to surpass last season’s 12 ½ sacks, with six; he has 17 quarterback pressures as well."
Cole has indeed been on fire this season, and should look to shore up his third Pro Bowl berth if he continues his high level of play.
As for the rest of the All-Pro team, Cole was the only Eagle to make it on the cut. In fact, Mr. King was not kind to the NFC East in general, as the only other player from our division to make the list was Redskins safety LaRon Landry. I've included the full roster after the jump.
