Philadelphia Eagles All-Time Passing Touchdown Leaders starts with Donovan McNabb, the franchise record-holder with 216 touchdown passes. For a franchise with Ron Jaworski, Randall Cunningham, Carson Wentz, Norm Snead, Jalen Hurts and Nick Foles in its quarterback history, McNabb still owning the passing touchdown crown says everything about his production, longevity and importance to the modern Eagles era.
Ron Jaworski ranks second with 175 passing touchdowns, while Randall Cunningham sits third with 150. Carson Wentz, Norm Snead and Jalen Hurts are packed tightly behind them, which makes this one of the more interesting Eagles leaderboards going into the 2026 season. Tommy Thompson, Sonny Jurgensen, Nick Foles and Michael Vick round out the featured top 10, while Bobby Thomason is tied with Vick at 57 passing touchdowns.

How This Eagles Passing Touchdown List Works
This list ranks the Philadelphia Eagles all-time passing touchdown leaders by regular-season touchdown passes recorded with the franchise. It does not include playoff touchdown passes, preseason stats or touchdown passes thrown for another NFL team.
That matters for players like Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, Nick Foles, Sonny Jurgensen, Carson Wentz and others who also had NFL chapters outside Philadelphia. For this leaderboard, only their Eagles production counts.
This is a passing touchdown leaderboard, not a best-quarterbacks ranking. McNabb being No. 1 by passing touchdowns is straightforward. But when comparing the overall legacy of players like Cunningham, Foles, Hurts and Jurgensen, rushing value, postseason moments, era context and championships matter too.
Last updated: 2026 offseason. Jalen Hurts is still active with Philadelphia, so his total and rank can change during future seasons.

Passing Touchdowns vs. Eagles QB Legacy
Passing touchdowns are one of the cleanest ways to measure long-term quarterback production, but they do not tell the whole story by themselves. Donovan McNabb is No. 1 here because he combined volume, stability and a long winning run. Ron Jaworski and Randall Cunningham are right behind him because they also carried the Eagles through major eras.
Jalen Hurts is the active wild card. His passing touchdown total already has him within striking distance of the top five, but his rushing touchdowns and championship value make his full Eagles case bigger than this single leaderboard. Nick Foles is the opposite kind of example. He is only ninth by regular-season passing touchdowns, but his Super Bowl LII run gives him a legacy that no basic regular-season table can fully capture.
That is why this post treats the table as the record book and the player sections as context. The numbers decide the order, but era, playoff moments and style explain why each quarterback matters in Eagles history.
1. Donovan McNabb — 216 Passing TDs
Philadelphia Eagles Stats & Accolades: 1999–2009 with Philadelphia, franchise-record 216 passing touchdowns, franchise-record 32,873 passing yards, six Pro Bowls with the Eagles and one Super Bowl appearance.
Donovan McNabb is the Philadelphia Eagles all-time passing touchdown leader. His 216 touchdown passes remain the top mark in franchise history, and they came during one of the most consistent winning stretches the Eagles have ever had.
McNabb gave Philadelphia stability, playmaking and long-term production at quarterback. He could extend plays, attack downfield and create offense even when the supporting cast was not always loaded with elite receiving talent.
His Eagles legacy can still spark debate because that era never finished with a Super Bowl win, but statistically, McNabb remains the franchise quarterback standard. He owns the team records for both passing yards and passing touchdowns.
2. Ron Jaworski — 175 Passing TDs
Philadelphia Eagles Stats & Accolades: 1977–1986 with Philadelphia, 175 passing touchdowns, 26,963 passing yards, one Pro Bowl and one Super Bowl appearance.
Ron Jaworski ranks second in Eagles career passing touchdowns with 175. He was the face of the Eagles passing game during the Dick Vermeil era and helped lead Philadelphia to Super Bowl XV.
Jaworski had a strong arm and the toughness to play through a more physical passing era. He gave the Eagles a real downfield passing presence and helped turn the franchise into a contender.
Before McNabb took over the record book, Jaworski was the Eagles quarterback most closely tied to long-term passing production. His 175 touchdown passes still keep him comfortably at No. 2.
3. Randall Cunningham — 150 Passing TDs
Philadelphia Eagles Stats & Accolades: 1985–1995 with Philadelphia, 150 passing touchdowns, 22,877 passing yards, 4,482 rushing yards with the Eagles and multiple Pro Bowls.
Randall Cunningham ranks third in Eagles career passing touchdowns, but his full impact was much bigger than passing alone. He was one of the most exciting dual-threat quarterbacks the NFL had ever seen.
Cunningham had a huge arm, rare athleticism and the ability to turn broken plays into highlights. He played in an era when quarterbacks were not usually designed rushing weapons, which makes his overall production even more impressive.
His 150 passing touchdowns put him firmly inside the top three, while his rushing ability made him one of the most influential quarterbacks in football history.
4. Carson Wentz — 113 Passing TDs
Philadelphia Eagles Stats & Accolades: 2016–2020 with Philadelphia, 113 passing touchdowns, 16,811 passing yards, one Pro Bowl and a key role in the 2017 Super Bowl season before injury.
Carson Wentz ranks fourth in Eagles career passing touchdowns. His Philadelphia career had a high peak, a championship connection and a difficult ending.
At his best, Wentz looked like a future MVP. His 2017 season helped put the Eagles in position for their first Super Bowl title, even though his knee injury kept him out of the postseason run.
The later years became complicated, but the production still matters. Wentz threw 113 touchdown passes with Philadelphia and remains one of the most statistically productive quarterbacks in franchise history.
5. Norm Snead — 111 Passing TDs
Philadelphia Eagles Stats & Accolades: 1964–1970 with Philadelphia, 111 passing touchdowns and 15,672 passing yards.
Norm Snead ranks fifth on the Eagles all-time passing touchdown list. He played in a tougher passing era, where completion rates were lower, interceptions were more common and quarterback production looked very different from today.
Snead gave Philadelphia several years of heavy passing volume during the 1960s. The team around him was not always strong, but he still produced enough to remain high in the franchise record book.
His 111 touchdown passes keep him just ahead of Jalen Hurts for now, though that spot could change soon.
6. Jalen Hurts — 110 Passing TDs
Philadelphia Eagles Stats & Accolades: 2020–present with Philadelphia, 110 passing touchdowns, 17,891 passing yards, multiple Pro Bowls, one Super Bowl championship and Super Bowl MVP honors.
Jalen Hurts ranks sixth already, and he is the active name to watch on this leaderboard. His rise has been one of the most important quarterback stories in modern Eagles history.
Hurts is not just a passer. His rushing ability, toughness, leadership and red-zone value have made him the centerpiece of Philadelphia’s offense. But his passing production has also grown enough to move him close to the top five.
With 110 passing touchdowns through the 2025 season, Hurts is only one behind Norm Snead and three behind Carson Wentz. If he stays healthy, he can move into the top four very quickly.
7. Tommy Thompson — 90 Passing TDs
Philadelphia Eagles Stats & Accolades: 1941–1942 and 1945–1950 with Philadelphia, 90 passing touchdowns, 10,240 passing yards and two NFL championships.
Tommy Thompson ranks seventh in Eagles career passing touchdowns and is one of the most important quarterbacks from the franchise’s early championship history.
Thompson played in an era where passing numbers were much smaller than they are today. Seasons were shorter, offenses were more run-heavy and quarterbacks had fewer easy completions.
That context makes his 90 touchdown passes stand out. Thompson helped quarterback the Eagles to back-to-back NFL championships in 1948 and 1949, so his résumé is much bigger than the stat line alone.
8. Sonny Jurgensen — 76 Passing TDs
Philadelphia Eagles Stats & Accolades: 1957–1963 with Philadelphia, 76 passing touchdowns, 9,639 passing yards, one NFL championship and Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback.
Sonny Jurgensen ranks eighth in Eagles career passing touchdowns. His full Hall of Fame career became even bigger after leaving Philadelphia, but his Eagles years were still important.
Jurgensen had a big arm and a natural feel for throwing the football. In 1961, he led the NFL in passing yards and touchdown passes, showing the high-end talent that later made him a Hall of Famer.
Because he did not spend his whole career in Philadelphia, his Eagles-only total is lower than his full NFL legacy. Still, 76 touchdown passes keep him inside the franchise top 10.
9. Nick Foles — 58 Passing TDs
Philadelphia Eagles Stats & Accolades: 2012–2014 and 2017–2018 with Philadelphia, 58 passing touchdowns, 8,703 passing yards, one Super Bowl championship and Super Bowl LII MVP.
Nick Foles ranks ninth in Eagles career passing touchdowns, and his legacy is much bigger than his regular-season total.
Foles had one of the most unusual careers in Eagles history. His 2013 season included a 27-touchdown, two-interception run, but his defining chapter came in the 2017 postseason.
He delivered the greatest playoff run by a quarterback in franchise history, won Super Bowl LII MVP and helped bring Philadelphia its first Super Bowl title. Foles ranks ninth in passing touchdowns, but emotionally, his place in Eagles history is much higher.
10. Michael Vick — 57 Passing TDs
Philadelphia Eagles Stats & Accolades: 2009–2013 with Philadelphia, 57 passing touchdowns, 9,984 passing yards, 1,998 rushing yards and one Pro Bowl with the Eagles.
Michael Vick is tied with Bobby Thomason at 57 regular-season passing touchdowns, which puts him on the edge of the Eagles top 10. His Philadelphia years gave him a second major NFL chapter and produced one of the most electric seasons of his career.
Vick’s 2010 season was special. He looked explosive, accurate and dangerous in a way that made the Eagles offense feel impossible to defend at times.
His Eagles passing touchdown total sits at 57, but his overall impact also includes nearly 2,000 rushing yards with the team. Vick’s Philadelphia chapter was shorter than some names above him, but his peak was unforgettable.
Biggest Takeaways From the Eagles Passing TD List
The biggest takeaway is that Donovan McNabb still owns the franchise passing touchdown record by a clear margin. His 216 passing touchdowns keep him ahead of Ron Jaworski and Randall Cunningham.
The second takeaway is Jalen Hurts’ climb. Hurts is already sixth with 110 passing touchdowns and is only one touchdown behind Norm Snead for fifth.
The third takeaway is how tight the middle of the list is. Carson Wentz has 113, Norm Snead has 111 and Hurts has 110, meaning the top five can change quickly if Hurts keeps producing.
