BREAKING NEWS: Philedephia Eagle sensational defender injury is worst than first feared, as a scan revealed a proper tear in his hamstring, which could keep him out of action for over 8 months.

We know… We know… Philly’s decision to pass on J.J. and take Jalen Reagor instead is old news now and some might say water under the bridge. We have all moved on now, so you should too if you haven’t.

The Eagles’ strange connection to Justin Jefferson continues.

Okay, so here’s the contradiction to everything you just read. We know Jefferson is a Viking. We know the mistake of not taking him can’t be undone, and we should focus on our business. Still, he’s just so darn interesting, and whether fair or unfair, his and Jalen Reagor’s stories are forever linked in Philly. That said, if we are honest, we still peek sometimes to see what he is doing.

It wasn’t always fun. Reagor did almost nothing in Philly, and since the other guy has entered the league, he has stacked an NFL Offensive Player of the Year nod (2022), a First-team All-Pro mention (2022), two more mentions as a Second-team All-Pro (2020, 2021). He led the NFL in receptions and receiving yards in 2022, and his first three seasons ended with trips to the Pro Bowl.

Nope, we haven’t stopped watching Jefferson, but he hasn’t stopped paying attention to our side either. Shortly after being ignored by Philly (and taken by the Vikes with the very next selection), we saw clips of Minnesota’s leadership structure laughing at Philly hysterically and their new receiver’s vow that everyone who passed on him would pay.

He looked much better in the second game after being locked down by Darius Slay in the first. We’re talking about 11 receptions for 159 yards compared to six snags for 48 in 2022. Still, a loss is a loss, and another few paragraphs have been added to Philly’s chapter in the Justin Jefferson biography.
