Early Birds: G.J Kinne as Brock Holt; no tackling in training camp; team off on Monday

1) Chip Kelly is a Boston Red Sox fan, so he has taken notice of Brock Holt’s career with the Red Sox. Holt made the All-Star team this year as a utility player, lining up at every position except pitcher and catcher.

Kelly has created his own Brock Holt on the Eagles. It’s G.J. Kinne. A quarterback during the past two years, Kinne has been a practice squad player who has lined up at different positions on scout team. The coaching staff talked to him in the spring about making utility player his full-time position. He’s listed as a wide receiver, but he also plays running back and special teams.
