Who? That was the first word out of the mouths of Philadelphia Eagles fans when their favorite team took a chance on a six-foot-four tight end out of the University of Cincinnati. Brent Celek wasn’t invited to the NFL Combine. He wasn’t the owner of a name that had NFL scouts and coaches buzzing.
Philly took the 162nd-overall selection of the 2007 NFL Draft and added Celek to the Eagles organization. He wouldn’t leave the team or play for another until he announced on August 30th of 2018 that he would retire after what he called ‘A perfect ending’.
