Chip Kelly’s Practices Consist of Collecting Daily Urine Samples From Players

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly has been under a bright spotlight over the last several months due to an incredibly active offseason. For this, he is one of the most intriguing coaches to follow.

Here are some interesting facts that were discovered by Kent Babb of The Washington Post when he recently profiled Kelly.

Kelly apparently requires daily urine samples from every player by leaving a cup in each person’s locker. The cup contains a head shot of the player that turns green once the daily sample has been tested.

Other quirky practices by Kelly include making his players practice while he blares the lyrics of “The Lion King” or the tunes of Ricky Martin.
