Fletcher Cox's strong play has earned him an endorsement from the Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles picked up Cox's fifth-year option Monday, ensuring the defensive end will remain with the team through 2016. 

Cox has been a consistent presence on the Eagles' defensive line since he was drafted in 2012, recording 12.5 sacks over that span. 

Trent Cole was released by Philly in the offseason, meaning the Eagles will be counting on Brandon Graham and Cox for increased output in 2015.
