After three seasons with the Saints, C.J. signed with the Eagles for the 2022-23 season and got to play in the Super Bowl LVII.
However, they lost the Super Bowl to the Kansas City Chiefs, consisting of Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, and JuJu Smith-Schuster.
Then, Gardner-Johnson spent the 2023-24 season with the Detroit Lions, another NFL team, before returning to his former team, the Eagles, in 2024.
