Tommy McDonald was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the third round of the 1957 NFL Draft. As a rookie, he was moved to wide receiver after he replaced an injured Bill Stribling in the ninth game of the season, making a 61-yard reception and a 25-yard receiving touchdown from quarterback Sonny Jurgensen.
He was a part of the team that won the 1960 NFL Championship against Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers. In the contest he had a 35-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Norm Van Brocklin.
In 1961, he led the NFL in receiving yards (1,144) and touchdowns (13). Against the New York Giants, he had 7 receptions for 237 yards and 2 touchdowns, which still is a franchise single-game record.
