What Current Nfl Players Are From Philadelphia |
Born and Bred in Philly:
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
- Aaron Rodgers (QB, Green Bay Packers): This future Hall of Famer might spend his Sundays in Wisconsin, but there's no denying his Philly roots. Fun fact: He shares a birthday with another cheesesteak legend, Pat's and Geno's!
- Marcedes Lewis (TE, New York Giants): This tight end's been around the block (and the field) for a while, but he still reps Philly strong. Word on the street is he can snag a pass with one hand while holding a soft pretzel in the other.
Philly Proud, Playing Elsewhere:
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
- Nick Folk (K, New England Patriots): Not all Philly NFL exports sling touchdowns. Folk keeps the scoreboards ticking with his booming kicks. Hey, field goals win games too, and nobody argues with a win (except maybe salty fans of the opposing team).
- Matt Prater (K, Arizona Cardinals): Another kickin' Philadelphian! Prater's got a leg like a mule and the accuracy of a laser pointer focused on a cheesesteak.
