How Deep Does This Burrow Go?
Six. Yes, SIX former Georgia Bulldogs currently suit up for the Eagles. That's more Dawgs than a walk in Sanford Stadium on game day! Here's the breakdown:
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
- Defense, Defense, Defense! The Eagles have gone heavy on the defensive side, drafting Jordan Davis, Nakobe Dean, Kelee Ringo, and Jalen Carter in the past two NFL Drafts. These guys are gonna make opposing quarterbacks feel like they're stuck in a Georgia swamp!
- Don't Forget the Offense! The Eagles snagged running back D'Andre Swift in a trade, adding some Bulldog power to their ground game.
It's Raining Bulldogs in Philly!
This influx of Georgia talent has some folks wondering if Lincoln Financial Field should be renamed "Athens North." But hey, championship teams are built on talent, no matter where it comes from. And with the Eagles fresh off a Super Bowl appearance, you can't argue with the results!
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
These Georgia boys are already making a name for themselves in the City of Brotherly Love. They've been spotted ordering cheesesteaks "with wit" (onions for the uninitiated) and learning the finer points of saying "jawn."
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
Maybe this is the year Georgia fans finally adopt a second team?
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
