Had the author of the gospel of Matthew been present at U.S. Bank Stadium on Feb. 4, he might have observed that the confetti fell equally upon the shoulders of Billy Brown, standing on the Eagles’ sideline at Super Bowl LII, as it did on Zach Ertz, the tight end who scored the game-winning touchdown.
But Brown, as a member of the Eagles’ practice squad, was not in uniform.
“Obviously, you want to be playing … but you’re with these guys every day, it’s like your brothers, your family,” Brown said last week, during the Eagles’ rookie minicamp.
