STM Take

Super Bowl LIX ring plus career STTM range tier 5-6 across three years as a 2022 UDFA puts Blankenship in the rare championship-pedigree S journeyman class. The Middle Tennessee Conference USA UDFA origin plus four years of Eagles system experience give him real career foundation. The 2026 question is whether Blankenship crosses into tier 4 territory or whether the structural tier 5 finish becomes the stable late-prime baseline.

Blankenship came out of Middle Tennessee as a 2022 undrafted free agent signed by the Philadelphia Eagles. He won Super Bowl LIX with the Eagles in 2024. He has anchored the Eagles' safety rotation across four seasons. His STTM career runs tier 5 (#36) in 2023, tier 6 (#44) in 2024, and tier 5 (#40) in 2025.

Strengths

Super Bowl LIX ring plus career STTM range tier 5-6 across three years as a 2022 UDFA puts him in the rare championship-pedigree S journeyman class.
Middle Tennessee Conference USA UDFA origin plus four years of Eagles system experience gives him real journeyman veteran value.

Concerns

Career STTM range capped at tier 5 flags the realistic ceiling at top-40 S rather than Pro Bowl territory.
Philadelphia's broader defensive identity around the Super Bowl LIX championship roster transition compresses the structural support.

What to watch: Whether Blankenship crosses into tier 4 (top 30) in 2026, the threshold for confirming the structural ceiling can climb further.
