Josh Sweat brought back a Philly Super Bowl classic with Chris Long’s legendary fur coat

Josh Sweat didn’t just show up to the Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX parade on Friday—he made sure to bring a piece of history with him. The Eagles’ star pass-rusher rocked Chris Long’s iconic faux fur coat, the same one that became legendary during the team’s first Super Bowl parade in 2018.

Long, who played a key role in Super Bowl LII, had already teased on social media that the infamous coat might make a comeback. He didn’t reveal who had hit him up to borrow it, but Sweat came through and did it justice.

“It’s crazy,” Sweat said to Dave Spadaro. “I can feel aura.”

“It was entrusted to me by one of the greatest, you know what I’m saying?” Sweat said. “I’m Mr. Anonymous. S—, I just hit him up. I was gonna hit him up two years ago when we lost but I got another chance.”

Josh Sweat Was the Perfect Choice

This wasn’t just any random player reviving an old tradition—Josh Sweat has been connected to this team’s Super Bowl history from the very start.

When the Eagles drafted Sweat in the fourth round of the 2018 draft, Philly was still riding the high of their first championship. He didn’t play much his rookie year, but Chris Long immediately saw something in him.

Fast forward to Super Bowl LIX, and Sweat led the Eagles with 2.5 sacks in their 40-22 domination of the Chiefs. A full-circle moment, capped off by throwing on Long’s legendary coat for the celebration.

Will Sweat Stay in Philly?

The one question that remains? Josh Sweat’s future. The 27-year-old is set to be a free agent, and while he’s become one of Philly’s most reliable pass-rushers, his return isn’t guaranteed.

That said, Sweat wearing the coat feels like a sign—a reminder that some legends never leave. Whether it’s Long’s fur coat or Sweat himself, Philly’s Super Bowl history just wouldn’t be the same without them.
