The 1964 Philadelphia Eagles season was the franchise's thirty-second season in the National Football League.

Offseason

[edit]

Joe Kuharich was hired as head coach of the Eagles after leaving the University of Notre Dame. He is still the only head coach with a lifetime losing record while coaching there, going 17–23 in four years. Owner Jerry Wolman gave Kuharich a fourteen-year, $1 million contract, and then traded future Hall of Famers Sonny Jurgensen and Tommy McDonald to the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys.

The Eagles sent Lee Roy Caffey and their 1965 first round draft pick to the Packers. Earl Gros and Pro Bowler and Hall of Fame member Jim Ringo were acquired during Ringo's 1964 contract talks with Green Bay.

NFL Draft

[edit]

The 1964 NFL draft and the 1964 AFL Draft were two different drafts held by their respective leagues. The NFL Draft was held on December 2, 1963; its teams could draft any eligible player coming out of college. The AFL Draft was held on November 30, 1963; it had territorial picks during the early rounds. These picks were players who lived in, or attended college, in certain areas, and was possibly the reason why the Eagles second round pick (sixteenth pick), was the AFL's first pick during the draft.

Some players made arrangements with AFL leaders to sign if certain teams drafted them; some signed contracts as soon as their last college games were over (on the field or in the parking lot).

The NFL Draft lasted twenty rounds with fourteen teams picking. The Eagles had the second pick in those rounds and picked eighteen players.

The overall pick in the draft was Dave Parks, an end from Texas Tech. The Eagles choose future Hall of Fame member Bob Brown, an offensive tackle from Nebraska. There were ten Hall of Fame members chosen during this draft, four of whom were chosen in the first round. The Dallas Cowboys had two, selecting Bob Hayes in the seventh round and Roger Staubach in the tenth round; however, Staubach was required to serve a four-year military obligation in the United States Navy before he could play NFL football because he was a graduate of the United States Naval Academy.
