News and notes from the City of Brotherly Love:
u25a0 DeShone Kizer straightened his three-piece suit with a loud purple jacket, ready to take on the world at the NFL draft Thursday.
Accompanied by his younger sister, Maelyn, the Toledo native and the rest of the night’s stars set off on their red-carpet entrance into the football madness that swallowed the city.
Bleachers filled with E-A-G-L-E-S-chanting fans lined one side, hundreds of reporters and cameras the other. Straight ahead was a colossal stage perched atop the iconic Rocky steps outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art and tens of thousands of fans stretched deep into the night.
