Jalyx Hunt had himself quite the season for the Philadelphia Eagles.
In just his second NFL season, the 24-year old outside linebacker did something never done in this storied franchise's history before.
Hunt finished the season as the Eagles' team leader in sacks.
Hunt also finished the season as the Eagles' team leader in interceptions.
That has never happened before.
Jalyx Hunt is the first player in the history of the Philadelphia Eagles to lead the team both in sacks and interceptions in a season.

Hunt intercepted a pass on Sunday to cap his regular season in style.
That meant he ended the year with three interceptions, including a pick-six. He also had 6.5 sacks, with his last two coming a week ago in the win over the Bills.
A season ago, as a rookie behind a lot of veteran defenders, Hunt didn't intercept a pass and had just 1.5 sacks.
Now, stepped into a bigger role, Hunt has delivered.
If the Eagles make noise in the playoffs, you can count on Hunt to make a big play or two on the run.
