Many have enjoyed outstanding careers as a player for the Philadelphia Eagles. Very few follow that with an outstanding career as the team’s radio analyst. But that’s what Stan Walters did for 23 years – nine as an offensive tackle and 14 in the broadcast booth.
Acquired in a 1975 trade with the Cincinnati Bengals, the transaction opened Walters’ eyes and as it would turn out, shape his future.
“Three years in Cincinnati and then all of a sudden to get traded, I guess that really woke me up and taught me that it was a business,” Walters said.
