FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- It was exactly one month ago, on Christmas, when New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendolatweeted out a picture of himself standing next to a framed green Philadelphia Eagles jersey. The No. 11 jersey had his name on the back of it.
He didn't explain the significance of the picture that day, but it's now timely to do so with the Patriots preparing to face the Eagles in Super Bowl LII.
"A friend of mine actually found my original practice jersey I had in Philly. I only had one, they put your name on the back and everything, and I guess they were selling it for some reason," Amendola said Wednesday in a quiet moment inside the Patriots locker room.
