Kelly faces a familiar accusation

Malcolm Jenkins doesn't have a problem with being the spokesman for Chip Kelly every time a black player who has left the Eagles makes comments that imply the coach is a racist.

After Brandon Boykin tossed more daggers at Kelly on his way out the door Sunday, it was once again left to Jenkins to defend his coach, and negate the perception that Kelly at the least can't relate to a segment of the locker room.

And while Jenkins wears his leadership badge with honor, there's irony in his being the chosen one, because he doesn't always agreewith Kelly and is not afraid to tell him.
