"I've talked about the NFL all the time, the game of football, I missed it when I wasn't playing and to be here, in this position, it's part of my dream," said Rush, a rookie wide receiver who is vying to make the Eagles' 53-man roster when it is pared down in September. He's here now, part of the 90-man team, and he's ready for the start of Training Camp practice on Monday at the NovaCare Complex.
How Rush got here is an example of a young man who didn't give up when he plenty of opportunities, and other options, to do so.
