In his characteristic outfit—windbreaker, shorts, and sneakers—Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo watches rookie QB Carson Wentz work through a routine handoff drill. DeFilippo checks to ensure Carson completes his drop and turns downfield, as if to throw a football he no longer holds, perhaps fooling an unsure defender into defending a phantom play-action pass.
“Here we go...good!” Carson had just hit the top of his drop—DeFilippo is already sprinting to a different section of the field. “QBs, we’re outta here, we’re outta here, we’re movin’, we’re movin’, we’re movin’.”
There are not enough hours in the day for Coach DeFilippo.
