Eagles Wake-Up Call: Troy Vincent Calls On Patrick Chung
Troy Vincent was looking for a player who properly represented today’s athletes.
As the NFL’s vice president of player engagement, Vincent needed someone who would be open and honest in front of a room full of coaches, scouts and executives. So he gave the Eagles a call and came up with safety Patrick Chung.
“I didn’t want the typical guy that’s doing all the community outreach,” Vincent said. “I needed a real modern… I needed an edge kind of player. He’s an edge kind of player.

Win the day.
It was Chip Kelly’s motto at Oregon, and it’s a slogan Eagles players can expect to hear quite a bit in the coming months.
The idea is not unique to Kelly. Scan the country, and you’ll find football coaches at various levels use different words to say the same thing.
Take care of the little things, and the big things will take care of themselves.
