Johnson was on the list of NFL's most innovative and successful defensive masterminds. He served since the team's defensive coordinator from 1999 until his death just last year and his aggressive style kept Philadelphia at or near the top of the NFL in virtually every major defensive category throughout his tenure. From 2000-08, Johnson's units ranked second in the NFL in sacks (390), 3rd down efficiency (34.0%) and red zone touchdown percentage (43.9%), and fourth in fewest points allowed (17.7 per game). Throughout his 10-year stay in Philadelphia, the Eagles earned seven playoff berths, five trips with the NFC Championship game andf the other Super Bowl appearance (pursuing the 2004 season).

Allen enjoyed the Eagles from 1988-94 once the team made him a second-round draft opt for of Arizona State. He recorded 34 interceptions, tied for most in Eagles history with Bill Bradley and Brian Dawkins, and holds the team mark with five interceptions returned for touchdowns. A three-time All Pro selection, he and Troy Vincent would be the only Eagles cornerbacks that they are selected towards the Pro Bowl five times. Allen was perhaps the great 1991 Eagles defense that became only the fifth defense in NFL history to position first inside the NFL in fewest total yards allowed, fewest rushing yards allowed and fewest passing yards permitted.

To be the Eagles' defensive chief, Johnson's defense produced 26 Pro Bowl selections: Brian Dawkins (7), Troy Vincent (5), Jeremiah Trotter (4), Hugh Douglas (3), Lito Sheppard (2), Asante Samuel (1), Trent Cole (1), Michael Lewis (1), Corey Simon (1), and Bobby Taylor (1).

Johnson and Allen will join 33 people of the Eagles Honor Roll: C/LB Chuck Bednarik, owner Bert Bell, LB Bill Bergey, S Bill Bradley, DB Tom Brookshier, T Bob Brown, DT Jerome Brown, RB Timmy Brown, WR Harold Carmichael, QB Randall Cunningham, head trainer Otho Davis, executive Jim Gallagher, E Bill Hewitt, QB Ron Jaworski, QB Sonny Jurgensen, HB Ollie Matson, WR Tommy McDonald, RB Wilbert Montgomery, head coach Earl Greasy Neale, E Pete Pihos, WR Mike Quick, E Pete Retzlaff, C Jim Ringo, T Jerry Sisemore, QB Norm Van Brocklin, HB Steve Van Buren, head coach Dick Vermeil, T Stan Walters, DE Reggie White, T Al Wistert, C Alex Wojciechowicz, plus the 1948 Youth Packers Jersey and 1949 NFL Championship Teams
