Thursday’s victory parade was the culmination of something incredibly special. Fifty-eight years of futility, ineptitude and lost potential down the drain. This Philadelphia Eagles team made it a point to drain the swamp and then fill it with Bud Light and confetti. The underdog was on top of the world and basking in the glory of success.
That was then. The NFL Scouting Combine begins in 16 days. There are 207 days until the Eagles raise the championship banner and open the 2018 season. For head coach Doug Pederson, Howie Roseman and Jeffrey Lurie, that’s a lot less time to prepare for Week 1 than other franchises have.
