It’s a rare occurrence when professional athletes get to stay put in their home state or even city to play for their local team. When it comes to football, you have a 1-in-32 chance of landing on your local team. It’s definitely not impossible, but it is almost unlikely to happen. That is of course, unless you are somewhere around Philadelphia. Then, the Philadelphia Eagles might make your dreams come true if that’s where you visioned yourself being as a kid.
The Eagles are never ones to shy away from the local prospects. In fact, they seem to look for them.
