On The Eagles In 1991, I was in my 10th year in the NFL and I was the starting at right guard on the Indianapolis Colts. We were coming off a disappointing 5-11 season with a rookie quarterback named Jeff George. Jeff was the No.1 overall pick that season and he showed a ton of […]

The former Eagles Pro Bowl wide receiver has benefited from the NFL’s tight-knit coaching circles that seemed never ending, On all three teams he was/is coached by a Philadelphia Eagles head coach or offensive coordinator.
When a head football coach is blessed with a few great players to work with, he must take advantage of the window of opportunity he has with them.
