Brent Celek appeared in 93 straight NFL games before a concussion forced him to sit out against Cincinnati last December. That stopped an iron man streak that not only spanned his entire professional career, but his college and high school days as well.
“The last time I missed a game was in the sixth grade. I dislocated my elbow,” said Celek back in November. “I popped it back in myself. I scored a touchdown on the play…It was just reaction. I just hit it and it popped back in. And when I popped it back in it broke.”
There have been plenty of injuries to fight through since. He dislocated his shoulder while at Cincinnati. Sustained a shoulder tear his rookie season with the Eagles (“It would dislocate every single game,” he said). Suffered a sports hernia and a torn labrum in his hip. Got that concussion against the Bucs last year. And on and on…
The tolerance for pain and willingness to fight through it is obviously very admirable. But you wonder about the cumulative effect.
DeSean Jackson grabbed the microphone and asked for a show of hands: Who needs a bottle of water?
A couple minutes later, the Eagles’ wide receiver returned, carrying an old Hewlett Packard printer box filled with sodas, water, chips and refreshments.
This was a different environment for Jackson. He is used to playing in front of big crowds at the Linc. But this was a more intimate gathering in a small theater at the student center on the campus of Saint Joseph’s University. Jackson was there as one of the hosts for an advanced screening of DeSean Jackson: The Making of a Father’s Dream, a fascinating documentary produced by his older brother, Byron.
