During his playing days, Philadelphia Eagles running backs coach Duce Staley quickly became a fan favorite in ‘The City of Brotherly Love’. Running rough shot over the Dallas Cowboys‘ defense in ‘The Pickle Juice Game’ will do that for you. Once he was established as the heart and soul of the Eagles running game, you could almost feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand up when Staley took the ball and the chants of ‘DUCE’ reverberated around Veterans Stadium and then, eventually at Lincoln Financial Field.
Once his playing days were over and Andy Reid brought him back as a coaching intern, no one batted an eye.
