(Chip Kelly might not be the same non-people person he was in Philadelphia. Oh, and let's not forget my idiotic Super Bowl pick.)
1. Has Chip Kelly Changed?
To truly understand how well Kelly is handling the furor over Colin Kaepernick's refusal to stand for the national anthem, you have to remember how bad he handled players in Philadelphia.
The Eagles' Kelly was different. He was an X's and O's savant who didn't seem to care all that much about developing relationships. He was, in fact, terrible at it.
One of the more blunt assessments of Kelly's management style came from former Eagle-turned-Bronco Evan Mathis.
